iOS devices (iPhones/iPads) consuming excessive time limits due to background syncing in Apple services like iCloud Drive, iTunes, and system processes. This is exacerbated by iOS's aggressive background refresh, which HomeShield categorizes under "Other" and counts as internet usage, even for idle syncs (e.g., photo backups or app updates). As Time Limits apply to all outbound traffic, including non-user-initiated Apple pings, this leads to quick exhaustion of daily allowances for connected IOS devices.

Being able to exclude services or apps (like IOS background services), without manually adding all the different apps/services under Always Allowed, would be a very welcome enhancement that would make the Time Limits feature much more useful.
