screen time limits
Device usage caps
Screen time limits are restrictions on how long someone—usually a child—may use electronic devices like phones, tablets, or televisions.
Parents set screen time limits to manage children's exposure to digital media: We have a two-hour screen time limit on school nights.
The term also refers to software features that enforce such restrictions: I enabled screen time limits on her iPad.
