Discord keeps getting restricted even though your dad turned App Limits off because Screen Time has other hidden settings (Downtime, Communication Safety, Content Restrictions) that still block Discord automatically. iOS 26.1 also has a bug that re-enables limits.

To fix it:

Add Discord to Always Allowed
Remove ALL App Limits (don’t just disable — delete them)
Turn OFF Downtime
Turn OFF Communication Safety
Allow all apps (set age rating to 17+)
Restart both devices
Update to iOS 26.2 when available

After doing this, Discord will stop kicking you out.
