There may be something in the following that will help: If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support
Be sure to check all of that support article, including the "If you still can't connect to Personal Hotspot with Bluetooth" section and if nothing else works, the "Get more help" section.

If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity or AirDrop, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch - Apple Support

iPhones don’t typically explicitly pair to other Apple devices using Bluetooth (except AirPods).
You told us how you’re trying to do something. Instead you should tell us what you’re trying to do. We can offer much more help that way.
Thank You for the reply, maybe this explanation will help
My iPhone 11 Pro max with up to date IOS does not connect to my iPhone 13 pro max via Bluetooth. Anytime I try I see a pop up that says " Pairing unsuccessful" . It used to be connected without any issues until 2 days ago when it kept saying unable to connect and I decided to click on " forget this device" now it does not pair with my other iPhone. I have restarted the phone, updated them to current ios and have unpaired all other devices but still can not connect. And it seems that is happening to other iPhones as well. I normally connect my iphones to share internet.
Thank you
