    Grant 1 time usage outside of time limits


    Hello,

    Is there a way to add a 1 time limited time allowance for a period outside of the scheduled time range?

    I'm have my son's schedule set so he's only able to use his Xbox in the morning or evening to encourage him to go outside and enjoy the nice weather. But there are times I want to allow him a limited amount of time outside of those time ranges because of bad weather or whatever but when I grant an extension, that's just a total daily usage time extension and doesn't allow usage outside of the scheduled time range.

    I think it would be an easy fix to just add a allow now button or whatever. But if I'm doing something wrong, let me know.

    :)

    Hi, WH565,

    Thank you for your contribution and welcome to Xbox Community. It's my pleasure to help.

    I understand you want to allow more time for your son on screen. Please refer to this link below to extend or grant an exemption.

    screen time not accurate

    Have you seen this guide? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-windows/29533738-5766-4ba5-881c-c588e45201dc

    One section I noticed sounds like your issue.

    Common issues with time limits

    I don't think time limits is working, because the time in the device usage report does not match what I observe in real life.

    • If your child uses multiple devices, then keep in mind that each device tracks their allowances separately. For example, a child who is limited to 1 hour, but can sign into 2 Windows PC's, could use each PC for 1 hour, for a total of 2 hours of usage that
      day.
    • Time limits are enforced based on when they are signed in (even idle time), but idle time is not counted in the device usage report. For example, if your child's allowance is 2 hours, and they sign in and don't do anything, the child would be locked out
      after 2 hours, but the device usage report may show as little as 1 minute of usage

    Xbox could have had Heavy Rain

    Very moving and intriguing experience.

    Heavy Rain really was pushing the boundaries of videogames forward, unfortunately not many followed its creative innovation.

    Regarding the OP's criticism, I am glad Quantic Dreams wasn't granted a contract with Microsoft as it would have limited them in creative and technological aspects.

    The game was really pushing the limitations of the PS3 architecture at that time and the usage of BluRay benefitted Heavy Rain's functionality.

    Also the optional addition of Move controls later on helped the immersion factor of the game.

    I do know with my modem I can log onto my phone and push 1 button and shut everything off and also see the usage of every profile and set time limits for that device. I'm also using comcast Xfi
