For hotspot T-Mobile does have a hard throttle. Once you reach your cap you get limited to 128 kbps. It’s only phone data that has the soft cap.
Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot.

TMobile doesn’t have a hard throttle, but they’ll cut priority under congestion so that if wherever you are has someone else vying for the bandwidth, they get first shot.
Frankly, given that the limited resource is the cell bandwidth, that seems like a reasonable way to go. It doesn’t hurt them much if someone wants available bandwidth and there’s no contention for it.

I thought T-Mobile’s throttle was 600kbps now?

It may depend on the plan. Mine limits it to 128 kbps after I reach the 3gb cap for hotspot.

Mine is the same way and I get the exact same messages.

I can assure you, the multi-million dollar organization does not need your defense of them.
