TLDR: Turn On Bluetooth on both device

So, I've been experiencing this bug where macbook would randomly decide to not connect to my hotspot occasionally, sometimes it won't even show the hotspot in available networks.
Though hotspot would work perfectly fine with other devices.

Sometimes it would show error "Failed to connect to Hotspot".

Simple fix I found was to toggle the bluetooth on. It fixes the issue 100% of the times and makes the hotspot connect on its own too, if you leave it on.

A simple solution but thought I'd help others :) who are facing the same issue as this is a common bug, and people often suggest extreme fixes like reinstalling os or clearning deeper settings, etc.
