No, that is not normal unless you have allowed the hotspot password with someone you know.


If you have no devices that rely on using a mobile hotspot to share your internet connection with other devices, then disabling it can be a way to identify if someone else has been using it without your knowledge. When you turn off the hotspot, any device currently connected will lose internet access. This can serve as an indicator that someone else might have been using your data.
