For one time only, when the time differs every time: say, only today from 16:00 to 18:00, or from evening until morning. A schedule does not fit here: it repeats by the day.
- “Home” → “Start a break” → under “When to start”, tap “Pick a time”.
- Choose the date, the start and the end. If the end is earlier than the start, the break ends the next day.
- Optional: “What to tell your child”, and the apps that stay available.
- Tap “Plan the break”. The same on the site, in the cabinet.
The limits: one time only, from 5 minutes to 24 hours, at most 14 days ahead, up to three per device. It is free, like an ordinary break.
A planned break shows on “Home” and on the break screen: the date, the time and, for each device, whether it has got it, “Waiting for the device” until then. “Cancel” takes it away; once it is running the button says “End now”. The child sees it in “My rules”, gets warnings 5 minutes and 1 minute before, and the break screen says when it ends.
As with other rules: it works like an ordinary break for the whole phone; “Always allowed” apps, ordinary calls, SOS and KidPair stay open. An ordinary break comes first while it runs. “Allow for…” opens the phone during a planned break too. Piri coins cannot lift it. If the child asks to end the break and you tap “Accept”, it ends.
Honestly about the limits. The device must get the break beforehand: if it is off or offline until the start, the break may not begin. Once it has it, the device starts and ends the break by itself, even without internet and with a different time on its clock. But after a restart with no connection, when the phone's check has run out, or without the Accessibility permission, the rules do not apply. An old version of the child app cannot take a plan: update KidPair on that phone.
