Timed... Emergency access for kids

I've set some rules for my list of iOS device and PS4, for kids.

But quite often I need to relax the "timeout" for some reasons (maybe a sort of 1hr playtime award), and in that case I enable the "emergency access".

But... I often forget to disable the emergency access (kids happy, ok...).

Would it be possible to enable the emergency access on a timed rule? For instance after 1h30' the emergency access automatically disables.

Possibly with an easy UX... such as:

On two lines you have the emergency access switch and, on the second line, a "time to disable" switch: when i enable it i get a window to confirm the last timeout counter (eg. 1h 30', and the number is then reported, in small, to the right of the "time to disable" switch).

  "Snooze" needs a counterpart to enable a rule for a certain period of time, and then disable

  You can block something and then snooze it, it will be like enable a rule for a period of time.

  I've seen the SNOOZE in 1.972:

  pls consider the snooze options (15min, 1hr, always) are too limited:

  my specific use case is the kid coming home from school... "hey, I've taken an A, let me play the PS4 all this afternoon...". In a similar case... snoozing for 1hr would kill the connection just in the middle of a match, with my kid in version "fire ball" (just that upset :-)))).

  Therefore I suggest adding a fourth option, that you can customise in settings (or one of the timed 2, 15min/1hr).

  Thanks
