Screen time counting while device is sleeping
Latest version of MacOS:
- Screen time is counting while device is sleeping
- Screen on usage shows nothing during that period
- Safari is the application that causes screen time to be counted—it does so with various websites
- I have cleared browsing data and restarted. The issue persists because I visit these websites regularly, for example YouTube. I should not have to clear my browsing data every time I want to sleep the computer and have screen time function normally.
- When I quit safari before sleeping the issue does not persist.
- When I shut down my computer the issue does not persist.
I am looking for a fix that will cease this issue. I do not want screen time to count while my device is sleeping as when I use my device the next day all my app limits have been reached and I simply need to disable screen time to use my device normally. I do not want to have to quit Safari before sleeping and/or shut down my computer to prevent this issue, I am tired of these workarounds.
I have looked at other threads about this issue and they all receive the exact same response. I have checked and tried the solutions offered already—my device is not clamshell mode, I have already reset my device once and disabled all my extensions. Ironically using screen time has only increased the amount of time I spend on my device to troubleshoot this issue.
