I have a 9 year old and 11 year old. They get 30 minutes a day for consumption, e.g. YouTube and games. They generally get all little more on weekends, when traveling, etc.

I review their YouTube usage monthly, and I also play games with them some. Anything inappropriate, we talk about it.

They get "unlimited" time for creative activities such as Roblox Studio, iMovie, and such. They're growing up in a digital world, they need to know how to use them as tools. It's unlimited in that I Don't put a time limit on it, but if they're staying on it for hours I make them take breaks.

They also get extra time if they're connecting with people, or using it for education.

No social media till an undetermined time.
