Windows 10: Microsoft family sucks for so many reasons. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft family is one of the worst platforms on earth, but recently, it has gotten worse. First of all, it sucks up my screen time on Sundays, and it only lets me have 30minutes of time, based on other days when I get 16 hr of screen time. It also gives me a dumb time warning, and if I am playing a game, it would freeze everything, and it would make me loose. And now, I will loose everything! Looking for a way to not have to format my device way to resolve these dumb problems.
