How can I manage Screen Time on iPhone during sleep hours?

My screen time constantly counts use during the tine I’m sleeping (before 6am on the image below). It shows as a gray bar and has no information about what it is. Than my daily use is of 8:49h on the app description it is less than2h. That quite a big imprecision…Any one can help with it?

Screen Time is tracking usage even while my iPhone 12 is turned off Since some time now, my screen time shows grey bars for screen usage overnight, even though my phone‘s turned off overnight. I think that’s been happening since iOS 18, before that it was fine. I wanted to ask if anyone found a solution to this. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Screen Time Usage Incorrect - Grey Bars when phone is idle My screen time shows ridiculously high usage without me using the phone for that long. At night it shows Grey bar and adding time however doesn't tell which app is using this screentime. This is inaccurate and need help from apple support to show correct phone usage time & fix the glitch.

Alter what screen time considers a day? Topic pretty much describes it. I don’t have any app or screen time limits set but sometimes look at my usage. However I frequently use my phone after midnight. Looking at it today I have been busy with work and primarily used messages, phone, outlook and my business page for instagram. But there is 2 hours of TikTok usage showing in today. But that was actually last night/ this morning. Up late not able to sleep. Is there a way to have the cutoff for what screen time considers a days use? I would make 3am the cutoff. It’s no uncommon that I am up and using my phone after midnight. But extremely rare to use it after 3am. just seems like it would be more accurate data if you count a “day” as phone use in a full wake/sleep cycle.

Since you have cropped the screenshot that you have posted it is not giving the correct picture

Hi, thank you for your reply. I only have one device, so I don’t have the option to select a device:
