Even if you see the icon on the lock screen, your child might be bypassing it. When you set your own Screen Time, you can either have your child's device report to Apple that it has an allowance and is using it, or that it does not have an allowance and is not using it. If the Screen Time icon is present, your child's device will report to Apple that it has an allowance, and is using it.

If the icon is there, your child is using their allowance, so check your Screen Time to see how much allowance they're using. If the icon isn't there, but the Screen Time icon is on the lock screen, then your child has an allowance and is using it, and that's all you need to know.

If you want to see your child's total allowance, you can look at their Activity Summary, which you can access by tapping Settings > General > Activity Summary.
