Screen Time - App Limit - BUG

I have a problem concerning the "Screen Time" feature, specifically the "App Limit" section of it. This, as we know, blocks the selected apps either during "Downtime" or when one consumed all the time from the limit.

During "Downtime" when I enter an app or a website, the "Time Limit" screen appears, showing that "I've reached my limit" (as intended).

Then I tap on "Ignore Limit" and then I select an option, usually "Remind me in 15 minutes".

The problem is that after I have selected it, no more than 5 seconds pass until the "Time Limit" screen appears again... Moreover, it stays on the display just a few seconds, and not due to any of my interactions, it disappeares again, leaving me to use the app as I wished.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello RaduAndreiq,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

We found this information on App Limits:

App Limits

You can set daily limits for app categories with App Limits. For example, you might want to see productivity apps while you're at work, but not social networking or games. App Limits refresh every day at midnight, and you can delete them any time.

Additional details can be found here: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Let's go ahead and disable screen time and set it up again. Test to see if the issue persists.

If the issue persists, can you provide additional details? When did you first notice this? Which device and iOS version are you currently using? Also, have you restarted your device since you first noticed this?

Cheers!
