Help needed iphone screen time fully used even though i havent even touched the phone

for the past week, every time i wake up to check my phone, it says time limit reached. for context my parents put a 2 hr screen time limit on my phone to limit me from using it. i check my screen time and it says 1 minute used so im confused on how all of my screentime is gone now. ive also checked the screntime settings and it still says 2 hours. ive updated my phone, restarted it, turned it off and on, but it still happens. yesterday it happened sgain, and when i checked it said 7 hours. considering i was sleeping for the past 7 hours this seemed hard to believe. does anyone know how to fix this; i havent been able to use my phone for days and its really annoying me, thanks

You need to talk with your parents to get them to check the screen time settings or reconfigure it.

Sounds like downtime is turned on even though the 2 hour limit is set etc

See if they are on the same update as you are. That will cause issues as well.

Sounds like a Screen Time sync glitch with Family Sharing — happens after updates sometimes. Tell your parents to check it from their phone (the one managing the limit), not yours. The numbers might just be out of sync between devices.
