I always connect my macbook pro to my iphone X cellular data hotspot.
I recently had to restart my iphone completely and now the macbook doesn’t connect to the hotspot claiming that wifi has a self assigned IP address.
My macbook version is macOS sierra and iphone version 11.4.1
Your Mac gives itself a self-assigned IP address while waiting for a Router or hotspot to give it a "good" IP Address. if it lasts so long that you see it, it means that no one answered the request for a good IP Address.
So check that the settings in your phone are still set for Hot Spot. A restart may have changed them to defaults.
