In the last several days to week all limits that can be set on the app no longer function. For example if a profile is only limited to two hours of Internet use a day - the app usage for that profile...
Any Progress on this?

For example if a profile is only limited to two hours of Internet use a day - the app usage for that profile clearly shows more than 2 hours. If a user is supposed to shut off access at 9 PM, the history shows that user is accessing the internet after that time - say 10pm. For one user I removed all the devices so it indicates there are no devices under that profile however it is clear that that profile is accruing Internet time (as shown in hostory and usage) - it is just impossible to block or limit. Also - when a new device joins the network there is no longer a notification and it does not appear on the app.
Until a week or so ago - all of these worked - any suggestions or is this their way of saying time to upgrade?
Thanks in advance
I am having this problem as well. YouTube is unlimited and my kiddo isn't doing her homework. I have tried setting the parent control to not allow, as well as entering common domains. Her school computer is able to get around it. Please help, it is leading to so many problems for her-- she can't resist YouTube's algorithm. The parent control Circle ap setting is NOT working properly. How can I block YouTube all together while giving her access to other sites she needs for school?
have you tried setting a custom filter? Go in, and block the entire youtube domain.
Go to filter, click custom filter at the bottom and enter youtube.com
Yes, I have tried blocking various related YouTube domains using the custom filter including the following:
youtube.com
youtube-nocookie.com
googlevideo.com
ytimg.com
googleapis.com
subdomains.youtube.com
m.youtube.com
i.google.com
s.ytimg.com
youtubei.googlepis.com
I have not be able to find a good comprehensive list of all the YouTube domains, but I go on my kiddo's school computer and am still able to access videos easily despite these settings.
