Personal Hotspot greyed out on iPhone 15 Pro Max

I'm on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, with iOS 26.3. My personal hotspot button is greyed out, and I cannot allow others to join.

I've looked through the internet and have tried the following:

turn off Wi-Fi
Restart my phone
Reset network settings
Reset my mobile data settings

Contact your carrier. Your eSIM may need to be re-provisioned or your account reset.

Do you use a VPN or ever had VPN software on your iPhone?
