So, after using this device for a few months now. It is most likely a carrier issue involving "data availability" and "service validation". Most data is not processed as "hotspot data", but instead as "device data". These errors tend to show up during peak cellular data usage times. During peak times, data speeds slow down to almost nothing. I have also noticed this issue shows up when attempting to use my phone as a hotspot as well. This indicates that it is a "denial of service" due to insufficient bandwidth in given location. The cell tower is simply unable to keep up with all active data requests, and is denying any requests that go over a given data speed. This results in the device being unable to validate service and service capability, resulting in various errors to occur. If given sufficient time and used during off-peak times, these errors do not occur.
