Why won't my hotspot stay connected

I don’t know if it has anything to do with the recent Software update or not, but my hotspot will not stay connected to my PlayStation longer than five minutes before disconnecting and when the blue circle That outlines the time in the top left corner of your phone (meaning A device is connected to your hotspot) just flashes simultaneously. For the year and a half I have had this iPhone 11 I have not once had this issue or any other issues with the hotspot even when apps are updating on my game system And or phone apps running at the same time. Please help!!
