If not connected to power, once the iPhone goes to sleep, if you are connecting to the Personal Hotspot via wi-fi, if you are not actively using the internet with the computer, then the wi-fi will go to sleep. That is what the issue is. You need to connect the iPhone to power if you are not going to be using the internet, or just make sure you have reconnected before trying to use the internet. It is acting normally.
