You can set app limits under Screen Time > App Limits. The Pic below is self-explanatory
Screen Time has a hierarchy of restrictions, but it is important to distinguish between Downtime, App Limits, and category-based limits.
The important exception is Always Allowed. Apps placed in this list can remain accessible during Downtime and, depending on the configuration, despite app limits. Also, limits may be ignored if blocking is not enforced. To make Downtime stricter, enable Settings → Screen Time → Downtime → Block at Downtime.
In short, Downtime controls when apps can be used, while category-based and individual App Limits control how longthey can be used. Category and individual limits are both part of App Limits, rather than separate levels in a strict hierarchy.

If there is a time limit set for the usage of apps on your iPhone in Screen Time, only the person who set up the settings for Screen Time can change that.
