hotspot not working - iOS 14.4.2

Ever since the iOS 14 hit, my hotspot has been flakky. It would connect for a few minutes on my iPhone and then it would drop out. I use the iPad in conjunction with the iPhone.

It periodically improved around 14.1 iirc, however it is again flaring up with the recent update. I have rebooted both devices numerous times, reset the network however the problem does not go away. I do know it it is not the iPad as when I have my home wifi on there is zero issues.

Is anyone else experiencing such and is there any fix?

iPhone 11, iOS 14
