How do I fix unresponsive Screen Time on iPhone?

I can no longer manage my daughter’s screen time using the Apple Family as her screen time page is now unresponsive. I can change app limited or downtime. It just buffers for ages and repeated asks for my passcode. I logged, logged back. Turned everything off/on etc. help?

Screen Time is not working properly in iPhone I have set up screen time limits for my two teens and the settings worked for a while. Their phones would shut down when they were supposed to and they couldn't access restricted apps and websites. Now, no matter what I do, change the passcode, reset limits, etc. the phones don't shut down or block restricted apps or websites. It is so frustrating! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Screen time bug on iPhone 8 WHEN will this be fixed?? The phone is fully updated. I've done a full reset of the phone and yet this problem persists. My child's screen time restrictions turn off randomly; he does not have the passcode since I've changed it repeatedly. I do the reset recommended by Apple and it works for a little while. Then it turns off again! It also rarely tells me the daily usage- laboriously slow despite great wifi and a well cared for iPhone 8.

Iphone screentime resets itself repeatedly!! Has there been a solution to this problem? An Apple expert could provide the answer. I have the same problem like many others with my own kids phones. Been for several months already. I set the screen time on in my child iphone and adjust the settings, for example, application usage times and blocking for Adult entertainment pages. But repeatedly I notice the screen time restrictions go off. Next day or next week. I always change the password when I notice this, but I really don't think my children are smart and patient enough to figure out the pin code every time. this week alone I have had to activate the settings several times already. Why doesn't this screen time setting stay on and PLEASE tell me what should I do keep it on.

Very similar problem to me. 90% of the time, when I try to control my daughter's screen time on her iPad, from my iPhone, I get to her profile and System Settings on the iPhone becomes completely unresponsive. The only way out is to quit the app and try again.
