New Phone Screen Time stopped working for kids

I got an iPhone 14 pro, and my app limits and downtime for my kids now keep randomly shutting off. I had everyone update to newest software and I have turned on "share across devices". Would appreciate any suggestions. It is happening to each of my 3 kids devices randomly, iPads and iPhones...Thank you

Screen time turning off on its own I have 5 iPhones and 3 are kids iPhones and the Screen time keep randomly changing or turning off. The screen time will show the corrector times but letting the kids use their phones past the time limits set. Why is this happening??? It was working fine about 14 months ago and thin just started bugging out. I can set a time and then mins or hours later it will just change on its own or turn off all together. I could say this is a software problem but it seems like an apple problem when it's all the phones. If this was just one phone I could see a download issue but it's not just one phone it all 3. This problem just keeps getting worse and worse. I need help to fix this what you recommend.

Screentime settings keep resetting! Hello! I have a family account where I manage my child's electronic usage. Their accounts downtime and app limits keep turning off with no rhyme and reason to it. Sometimes it resets within seconds of turning it on! I've tried several things: Turning off Screen Time and resetting Turning the iPhones off (both of them) Updating software (both of them) Wiping and resetting both phones Having both phones on the same Wi-Fi, turning off phones and turning back on and resetting the controls Literally nothing works!! This is ridiculous that is has been a known issue to Apple (sooo many similar threads on this issue) and yet no fix?!?! I don't understand why Apple has this feature if it doesn't work. Please help!!!!

Screen freezing when accessing Screen Time settings on iPhone Im trying to control my son’s screen time. Every time I go into my settings click his name and click usage and parental controls, it freezes. The screen doesn’t even want to move up or down. Anyone know how to resolve this issue? Both phones are updated. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Lock the Screen Time using a Passcode on your Child's device and do not share the passcode with your child.

I have a passcode which I have changed and my kids don't know. And I also have clicked "block at downtime" etc. I have been using Screen time for a long time, it just started doing this when I upgraded to the newest phone.
