Block timing issues with auto self control + Random site blocking even when not on blacklist #40

Firstly: I have back to back blocks where 7pm to 0:30 I've got everything in my blacklist blocked.. then 0:30 to 0:40 only specific sites blocked from a specific blacklist (method here) then 0:40 to for example like 5am i've got everything blocked again, but sometimes it doesn't go from my my specific blacklist back to the block everything immediately and it takes like a random amount of time to 'flip the switch and start blocking'... the same goes with even non back to back blocks for example ok 3pm to 8pm i've got a block and i reach home at 4pm and well its not blocked although it should have started blocking from 3pm.. the computer is off from 2pm to 4pm so does it sometimes not block/start the app or something when the computer is off?

Also: Sometime sites randomly will just be blocked even if not on blacklist and then suddenly later in the day they are accessible again (since they were never on the blacklist to begin with).. any idea why this happens?

Finally: so I have this site (NOT blocked) called (i've made up the name but the domain structure is the same) kais.ac.jp which i can easily access.. however similarily the site learningspaces.kais.ac.jp is blocked and i've checked about 3 times its not on my blocklist.. but still for some reason its blocked even if the site itself (kais.ac.jp) is not blocked. Any idea what to do here?
