Every week on Monday downtime turns on and I can't do anything outside the limitations my dad has set for me. Every time I get downtimed, I go into Settings>Screen Time and i see that downtime is actually off. Originally I thought htat the school's wifi was messing with things on my phone since they do block a lot iCloud services. I currently use a 2nd generation iPhone SE running the latest version of iOS. Things I have tried one or more times: - Rebooting - Telling my dad to just shut off screen time entirely (obviously didn't work) - Updating iOS (I updated to 16.4 a few days before this edit, didn'f fix anything) - Turning off app limits (don't know what my dad's thinking was there but it didn't do anything) Things that I have not tried yet: - Reinstalling iOS - Signing out and signing back in One thing that has started happening recently is me getting a downtime notification at around 3pm saying "426 minutes remaining before downtime" or something. Then around 5 minutes later, downtime is on. Here is a screenshot of the notification: ![the notification](https://i.sstatic.net/9c2Ar.jpg) This has been happening for a long time now, and we have only found one *temporary* solution: Toggling downtime. My dad says he doesn't have any clue why this keeps happening so regularly, and he is the only one who can do anything about it. This same problem was happening to my late 2014 Mac mini.
