How to disable “one more minute” on Screen Time?
We're using screen time to manage our son's time on his phone. "One more minute" feature negates the whole purpose of it. I can't find anywhere how to turn the feature off.

Hi jh2906,
You'll want to ensure Screen Time as well as Content & Privacy Restrictions are set up correctly using the steps here: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Regarding downtime, the "One more minute" should only be able to be asked once according to the article here: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
"Manage Screen Time settings
Go to Settings > Screen Time. Then tap See All Activity, select a category in the list below and set limits. You can manage these settings with Screen Time:
Downtime
When you schedule downtime in Settings, only phone calls and apps that you choose to allow are available. Downtime applies to all of your Screen Time-enabled devices, and you get a reminder five minutes before it starts. If you set a Screen Time passcode, Downtime includes an additional setting: Block At Downtime. When you choose this setting and you click Ask For More Time when Downtime starts, entering the passcode allows you to approve the app for 15 minutes, an hour, or all day. Child accounts can click One More Minute once, or click Ask For More Time to send their request to the parent account for approval."
Also make sure the iPhone is fully updated and test a normal restart of the device.
