Bug reported to Nintendo on July 17th 2025, bug I don't manage to reach the app team.

Description: I am experiencing an issue with the app feature designed to extend play time on the Nintendo Switch. The app incorrectly carries over extended play time from the previous day, resulting in an accumulation of play time that exceeds the intended daily limit.
Steps to Reproduce:
- The console is set to have 0 minutes available per day by default.
- I add 30 minutes most days using the "Extend Time" feature. Occasionally, I add more time.
- The next day, the console correctly shows 0 minutes available, indicating that the allocated time has been reset.
- When I extend the time, the confirmation window accurately displays that it will add 30 minutes.
- However, the resulting screen shows a total extended time that includes the amount from the previous day plus the amount allocated today.
Expected Behavior: The extended play time should reset to zero at the beginning of each day. Any additional time extended on a given day should not carry over to the next day.
Actual Behavior: The extended play time accumulates incorrectly, adding the previous day's extended time to the current day's extension. This results in an incorrect total play time.
Impact: This bug leads to my kids having more play time than intended, which is frustrating and disrupts our scheduled routines.
Attachments: I have attached video that illustrate the issue described above.
