Hotspot keeps automatically turning on device after device

I just noticed that hotspot from devices I own under my Apple ID keeps turning on and automatically connects my other devices to it when I’m not connected to WiFi. Whenever it does this, I have to manual disconnect to my other devices to that hotspot. I have 2 iPhones and iPad with cellular, and when I disconnect one device from that hotspot, that device automatically turns on its hotspot and the others connect to that one.


I keep turning off WiFi and click on Forget this Network but it still does the same thing. Anyone have any idea how to stop this vicious cycle of automatic hotspots?

This is a Continuity feature called Instant Hotspot.
