App & Website Activity keeps getting turned off of minor child’s phone

I continue seeing tracking turned off in Screentime settings for my child’s phone - weird thing is limits still seem to be applying, downtime and app limitations.

Inconsistent thought I had it fixed after updating phones, now appears to be happening again

Downtime and app limits keep resetting Whenever my child requests additional time on an app once they have reached their limit and we approve the extension, the downtime schedule and the app limits that we have set within parental controls completely reset. Both phones are updated, we have tried resetting them in unison and applying the changes, but this continues to happen. This is maddening! Why don’t the parental controls stay enabled?

Screen time limits disappearing Since iOS16, I noticed that my kids' screen time limits keep getting disabled on a daily basis, that includes app limits, downtime and content restrictions. I was finally able to figure out the bug that allows kids to bypass screen time from their devices. Parent sets Screen Time limits: downtime, app limits (all Games and Entertainment categories), content restrictions Child clicks on 1st app that is locked. It shows the message that the app is locked and they have the option to select "One more minute". Child clicks "One more minute" on 1st locked app. Exits screen. Child clicks on a different locked app and selects "One more minute". Exits the screen. Child clicks on a 3rd locked app and selects "One more minute." Exits the screen. Child's apps are now fully unlocked, and parent's device shows that Screen Time app limits have disappeared. I noticed that in Reddit, parents are baffled how their toddlers and tweens are hacking their screen time passcodes. This bug needs to be addressed.
