If you use Lineage, a fork of Lineage (iode, /e/), Calyx (out of commission), Graphene, or plain root and set the TTL of hotspot packets to 65 you can bypass the limit
Hmm interesting! My Samsung S24 is factory unlocked but when I try to activate the mobile tethering feature it says “Please wait while verifying” and then “your plan doesn’t support mobile tethering.”
I’m not sure…all I know is when I buy a device that’s unlocked from swappa…wait a minute, is the S24 model you have Verizon exclusive? I had an S10 5G that was Verizon specific that didn’t work, but … unlocked on swappa always work and I have the same problem as you. Other workaround is Pixel with Graphene OS.
If only my cell carrier (Verizon) didn’t paywall mobile tethering

You can EASILY get around that…buy an unlocked phone off swappa and the hotspot works perfectly on Verizon. I’ve been doing this for years

secret things is “tether dun”.
Maybe, its time to switch service providers. Or perhaps the software if its not working for you.
