I've got 3+ year old who gets ~20 mins of screen time each evening. We push for her to read books, go play, go on a walk, color, etc. but it's nice for her to get a little break right before bed to chill out and see her favorite characters. Our limit is not hard, there are days where we're wiped out or she's sick or something's happened and we're struggling so give her more(the most ever was 3 or 4 90 min movies on snow day when everyone was sick). She occasionally will get a handful of youtube videos(which are limited to what she already likes) but she generally wants to re-watch movies she loves. We'll occasionally throw on a nature documentary instead of a standard movie, she loves seeing the animals and it's a good break in the routine. If you set a rule(like screentime) and you've hit your limit, then you've hit your limit. Screen time is a metric like calories in my mind. You do your best to stay at a healthy weight and teach your kids what a healthy and unhealthy way to consume are...then hope for the best.
