Summary
Daily limits help balance screen time with learning. Reset behavior uses UTC time zone.
How limits usually work
A clear message like “You’ve used today’s time”—not a vague error.
Parents: before you change limits
Decide if you want a strict daily cap or flexible use; big sudden increases can feel unfair if you later tighten them.

How limits usually work
- You set minutes or hours per day per child.
- When time runs out, the app blocks or warns until the next period.
- “New day” often follows the parent’s timezone in settings.
- If limits feel “wrong by an hour,” check timezone and daylight saving in the parent profile or device.
