Hey sheeba67,
It appears that you're wondering why your iPad is using cellular data when connected with the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone. You're not even using your iPad when this happens, and we're glad to provide assistance.
How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support -- While your iPad is connected with your iPhone, the Personal Hotspot is still providing an internet access even though your iPad isn't being actively used. Please review the information under "Learn more”.
Switch apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support -- As another example, if your iPad has Background App Refreshed turned on, your iPad is actively using the Personal Hotspot on your iPad to be ready when you want to use an application.
All the best.
