Unable to share connection on Xbox Series X.

Hello, I recently acquired the Xbox Series X. I downloaded Forza 5H, Warzone, and Halo Infinite; however, I no longer have a broadband box and am using my 300GB plan with Red to play online (I also got the Game Pass Ultimate).
I have only managed to play these games online once (Forza, Warzone, and Halo without any problem), but most of the time, my tethering drops constantly (the Xbox "kicks" it out after 5 minutes, and I'm disconnected from Wi-Fi, and my phone stops sharing). Additionally, the NAT becomes unavailable or moderate, and in most cases, the Xbox can't find the network, and I have to reconnect every 3 minutes...
Anyway, I suspect Xbox is allied with ISPs to force players to play with a wired connection using broadband boxes.
I saw a topic suggesting that I should share the connection from a computer to the Xbox by using the computer's connection, but I have a Mac, so I can't share the Mac's connection as Wi-Fi to the Xbox without a cable... I want to mention that I'm on an iPhone XS Max, and according to the topic, there are similar issues on Android (I tried with other phones aside from iPhone and have the same problem with tethering; the networks become unavailable... however, on Android, it connects automatically for tethering while on my iPhone, I need to do manipulations and re-enter the password each time).
In short, I bought everything, and the tethering isn't working; do you have any solutions for it to work regularly, or do you know where the problem lies (Xbox, iPhone...)?
(Note that it works well for downloading games and draining my data plan.)
Thank you.

Hello, I also have the same problem as you on my Xbox Series S. I have a 100GB plan with Free that I use to play because my connection is terrible where I live (2mb/s) and the tethering works for about 20 to 30 minutes and then it just cuts off abruptly without warning. There's nothing I can do; I think there’s no solution because previously I was on PS4 and there were no problems with tethering.
