Android 12 app usage problem

Hi, this isn't really a major problem, but I thought you guys would help me out. The new Android 12 Digital Wellbeing app and other indicators in settings show that my app usage is 0 minutes, like I haven't opened any app. This frustrates me because I'm very curious of my screen time and stuff like this. Does anyone know a solution, because I tried many more from the internet?

My device: Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro

Operating System: Android 12, MIUI 13

You got me curious and I had to try it out. My Pixel 6 Pro shows zero minutes of apps today, and 1 minute for yesterday, which obviously is not correct assuming browser, podcast, outlook etc, are apps. 

The mobile data and Wifi data for the last 3 weeks show as 22.75 kB, which of course is ridiculous. So that seems to be a useless (or non-functioning) app. Maybe it has to be set up better....

 

But if you are worried about your screen time, why do you want to look at an additional app and trouble-shoot it on the Internet (on a screen)? That is adding more screentime to get screentime under control...... For typical timewasters (IMHO) like facebook, you can set a daily limit in the respective app. Or remove them from the mainscreen or de-install them.

Thx for your answer! I'm not that serious about restricting my screen time amd stuff like this, I'm just interested and apps like that are nice to have, when they work lol. In rest its not that big of a deal
