Hot spot issue

[Rumblee1]

Hi all, happy holidays. I have an S21 ULTRA that I've had since launch and it's been great. Even though it's been a while, I'm using the HOT SPOT feature for the first time. I notice that this feature is not remaining on. Does it go off by default when no other device is using it? As long as another device is using it, will it remain on? Thanks.

Yes, normal operation.
To configure:

Configure Mobile Hotspot​

Timeout Settings​

1. • From a Home screen, swipe up or down from the center of the display to access the apps screen.
     These instructions only apply to Standard mode and the default Home screen layout.
   • Navigate:
     Settings
     
     
     Connections
     Mobile Hotspot and Tethering
     .
   • Tap
     Mobile Hotspot
     .
   • Tap either 'Network name', 'Password' or 'Band' to enter the Configure Mobile Hotspot menu.
   • Tap
     Advanced
     .
   • Tap
     Turn off when no device connected for
     then select an option (e.g., Never timeout, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 60 minutes, etc.).

Same thing happens on my Pixel 7 Pro as well. Hotspot uses more battery, so an auto-shutoff when no connected devices are detected is a good idea.

If you have it toggled for no device to turn off but also if you have enough hot spot Data?
That be from your carrier

Thank you all. Just wanted to make sure it's a normal operation.
