On my iPhone 11 with iOS 15, when i push "Set Up Personal Hotspot" it says "To enable personal hotspot on this account, contact carrier."
My carrier is Google Fi. Google Fi support says the issue is with IOS 15. I downloaded IOS 15 yesterday. When I had iOS 14 i had no issues setting up a personal hotspot.

We can also suggest several troubleshooting steps to complete on your device. The following Apple Support article explains which steps to try first if you are noticing that Personal Hotspot is not working as expected:

We hope that the information in our reply here provides you with a good direction to getting Personal Hotspot online and enabled again. Please let us know if we can help answer any other questions about this feature.

I checked with my carrier; it supports the personal hotspot feature. In fact, I used the personal hotspot feature regularly on this phone with this carrier all the time when I had IOS 14.x on the phone. The problem has only occurred this week when I downloaded IOS 15. I followed the steps you suggested to no avail. This is the message I receive:
Sam problem, please advise Apple.
User to user support forum.
Apple is not here.
Contact Apple Support
I cdid contact my carrier before I ever posted here. Carrier said to contact Apple.
The only variable that changed was iOS 15.
Hello Apple,
I'm also having the same problem and I'm currently using the google fi service in the US. Google also mentioned that I should contact apple for this issue.
