The way Screen On Time (SOT) is calculated in OneUI 6 makes no sense

So previously, when you went to get battery information, the screen on time would represent the actual SOT of your device since your last full charge.

Now, with OneUI 6, the screen on time is calculated based on the usage PER DAY. This means that this morning, when I unplugged my phone at 100% I already had 1 and a half hours of screen on time from the previous night, since I used it past 12:00AM. I see no way to change this back to the way it used to be and this makes no sense.

SOT can help in identifying malfunctions / apps that eat up too much battery all of a sudden. There are legitimate use cases and the data that the battery stats gave you had a meaning.

Now I'm told how many hours I've used by phone in a day. Like, what purpose does that serve? Digital Wellbeing has been part of Samsung phones for a while and provided this exact information.

This either needs to be changed back to how it was in OneUI 5, or we should at least be given an option to choose how SOT is calculated.
