All Devices Messages apps/stickers no longer work during downtime

[RealMonster]

I can’t remember exactly when this started happening, but at some point I started noticing that when my phones enters downtime, the apps and stickers I use in messages stop working. The exceptions to this are the digital touch and music apps. It’s very annoying, since there are plenty of times when I’m texting during that time (especially on weekends) and I want that functionality. Has anyone figured out a way to prevent this? As far as I’m concerned, if Messages is active, so should the apps. (I can work around it a bit by going into the Messages App Store and finding the stickers I want or whatever, but that’s a ridiculous hassle.)

Have you added the apps that provide the stickers to the exception list?

What do you mean they stopped working during downtime? What is downtime?

It's a feature from iOS 12 that allows you to limit app access during certain hours.

Yep thanks. I just edited my post as you quoted me. I’m old and slow LOL

Unfortunately, there are no apps associated with them for the most part. They’re pure sticker packs. I’ve checked the application list just in case multiple times, but no luck. (I think this is why the Messages Music app still works; it’s definitely on the “always available” list.)
