Contact your cellular carrier and have them remove that feature from that line.

Hello NikkiFromVa,


Let's start off by checking the helpful steps in this article which can help with this issue: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Follow these steps: Go to Settings > Cellular, and make sure that the hotspot is disabled. Then go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, and enter your passcode if prompted. Scroll down to Cellular Data Changes, and switch that to Don't Allow.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue so we can look into this further with you. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
