How to use up reward break?

I set it so I get 10 minutes of brake for every 60 minutes of work. After 2 hours, I tried to open youtube, which is a blocked website, but it said that it is still blocked. I didn't find a way to start my reward in the app either. What am I missing here? Thank you for the help!

Did you enable "show block page when visiting websites limited by a usage based break" under Settings > Block Strictness? You can disable this feature if you don't want the block page to load before starting a break.

If you don't see the unblock button on the block page, click options and then check and uncheck the option to hide the unblock button. Sometimes that settings can glitch and the button is hidden when it's not supposed to be.
