I screwed up something and my hotspot wouldn't give my laptop internet

what it was.

  You didn't give a lot of details and these kind of settings are nearly
always brand/model dependent, but having said that...

  I had a similar problem when I apparently had set a mobile data limit
for the mobile hotspot. So not just the *general* mobile data limit, but
a *specific* one for (only) the mobile hotspot.

  For my Samsung Galaxy A51 Android 13 phone:

Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Hotspot and Thethering -> Mobile
Hotspot -> (displays current mobile hotspot) -> Configure -> Advanced ->
Set mobile data limit
