Personla Hotspot Data Restriction

When using personal hotspot from MackBook Pro M1, it seems that data usage is restricted much like the Windows 10 feature for Metered Network. I am using 5G in the iPhone 12 Pro and do not have any limitation on data usage. How can I disable this behavior on the MacBook?


I noticed the difference in some sites loading some content. In the personal hotspot the options are reduced.

Hello SubhashVajja,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand you're noticing a limit with the data usage by using the Personal Hotspot feature from your iPhone 12 Pro to your MacBook Pro. We'll be happy to help.


We suggest to see if there's a possibility that the feature of, "Low Data Mode" is turned on within the settings of your iPhone. Here's an article with additional details and the proper steps to take: Use Low Data Mode on your iPhone and iPad


If Low Data Mode is not turned on, we encourage for you to contact your wireless service provider to see if there's a limit with the use of the Personal Hotspot feature.


Best regards.
