Yeah, I've been getting the same popup since I got a new laptop and the old origin Launcher forced me to switch to the ea app. Apparently I'm currently "44 hours" over my daily playtime limit for the Sims 4, though every half-hour or so it changes to an even more ridiculous amount of time, first 20-ish, then in the 30s, back to 20s, 31 hours, and now 44 hours, all within the span of maybe 1.5-2 ish hours. The popup keeps telling me to save in a manner that implies its about to force me off the game, but it never does.
Yes. Im getting this for Sims 4 too, They can suck my balls! Ive bought every pack!! I paid for those games and they have no right to tell us how long we can play! THATS *!
I'm experiencing the same issue. Every 15 minutes or so I get a pop up. It was showing that I was 13 hours above my daily limit.
I was actually playing FIFA 17 PC, I know this game is old and servers are shut. But I was playing it offline and I only played it for 4 hours today and 2 hours yesterday.
When you own a game you are not meant to be told that you are over the limit. At first I thought this was some parental control to curb game addiction. But now I see that it's got nothing to do with any of that.
It's probably interpreting the game as a demo or an EA Play and wants to stop you from playing them? Anyway in my setting it is set to Unlimited but this appears to make no difference.
This is definitely unacceptable, I feel controlled and dictated! I'm not a child, I'm an adult and if I want to set such a setting voluntarily to control addiction, I will! But I'm not addicted for me to want to have such setting placed.

i get same thing on sims 4 with same settings and seem to found if i turn off the track time played it stops but it's nice to see how many total hours ya have playing a game. my guess it's a EA app bug like when ya start the App and it doesn't show any games installed.
