What causes the Screentime Bug on iPad Pro?

Hi, so I have this very annoying bug in which every app and every website has reached the screentime limit even if it is disabled or I have no limits sets, I have to override the screentime limit twice per page/app most of the times.

If I restart the ipad and not apply the following it reappears after a few seconds.


I have fixed by:


  1. Add a screentime limit if there is not one already set.
  2. Enable and disable screentime limits.
  3. Power off and power on.



It is the second time I get this bug, last time it got fixed after updating to ipadOS 18.2 but it has just happened again. I don’t know how to replicate the bug, it doesn’t happen the first time I pick it up for the day, but it has happened after not using the ipad for a few hours.

Apple invite submission of comments and bug reports via its Product Feedback portal. For iPad and iPadOS:

Feedback - iPad - Apple


If submitting a Bug Report, ensure that you include details of your iPad model and installed version of iPadOS within the body-text of your report. Don't rely upon the pick-list - as this rarely includes the current versions.
