Now that it's in defaults there seems to be no data limit, and the only intervention I remember ever having made before was to set it to unlimited though I don't remember how a limit ever got in there to be reset to unlimited. On this phone tapping "Connected device" on the "Mobile Hotspot" page is what invokes the "Manage Mobile Hotspot" page which has a "Set data limit" button. I went through these several times to no avail (and 'connected device' is hardly the label for an advanced settings link).
