Warnings of low iPhone battery on macOS Sequoia when connected via hotspot

This has started happening to me today, it hasn't happened before. Neither the MacBook Air or iPhone is on charge, the iPhone has over 90% charge, the MacBook has 99% charge. I keep being prompted (on the MacBook) to disconnect because of low battery on iPhone.

I connect to hotspot every week at uni, no idea why this is happening today.

I'm running 15.1.1 on MacBook, 18.0.1 on iPhone.

Warnings (in form of notifications) of low iPhone battery continuously pop-up on macOS Sequoia 15.1.1. whenever I am connected to the internet via hotspot.

Somehow, the battery status has been misread by my computer since Monterrey, however, since Sequoia I started getting notifications asking me if I would like to disconnect from my iPhone. This message keeps poping-up even if the hotspot is active via the usb cable connected to my MacBook Pro... while the iPhone is being charged by the computer itself.

I have found no way to stop these notifications in System Settings. It is distracting and annoying.

I don't know if I should file a bug report...

Any help is appreciated!

I use hotspot 100% for my internet connection for over 5 years and all the associated macOS and iOS...

Never encountered the issue—

First thing I would try is don't connect the charging cable to the MBP.

Use a different source to charge the iPhone and compare your results.
