Screen time resetting

We use screen time on our son's phone and it keeps resetting- deleting all app limits, content restrictions etc. We have reset the code. We have turned it off then on again. We have tried everything and this keeps happening. We had this issue on a old phone and got a new phone and its still happening. We had issues and even changed the apple ID and here we are again. This is ridiculous and I don't know what to do.
