Hi super_cm, 
 I setup a the restriction profile and schedule and applied them to my application profile. I also changed the application policy to deny when applying the restricted time schedule. 
 Results of testing 
 1/. one VoIP service was locked after 40 seconds 
 2/. the second VoIP service was dropped after 8 minutes. 
 3/. the application logviewer showed only one attempt by one phone and multiple attempts by the other phone to restore a connection. 
 4/. When the schedule and profile were deleted one phone took about 2 minutes to re-register, the other has not but that will e a configuration issue in VoIP ATA. 
 5/. the deal between activation time and actual blocking time is very frustrating while trying to debug new rules. 
 6/. I do not use web filtering on my VoIP services only application policy control. 
 I Hope these results help with your issue?

Hello SuperCM, 
 Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community. 
 Did you get the chance to check on the logs what happens when youtube is supposed to be blocked? If you are using the Web Filter the awarrenhttp_access.log in debug mode should show something. 
 # service awarrenhttp:debug -ds nosync (Ran from the advanced shell 5 > 3) 
 # /log/awarrenhttp_access.log 
 Also, I double-check your post, and in the screenshot that you share where it says youtube is blocked, under constraints I don't see any time selected. 
 
 Please double check you&rsquo;re adding a time to the Web Policy for youtube. 
 Regards,
