I screwed up something and my hotspot wouldn't give my laptop internet
anymore. What other preconditions govern besides the wifi ssid and
password? I did a reset and that fixed the problem but didn't tell me
what it was.

You didn't give a lot of details and these kind of settings are nearly
always brand/model dependent, but having said that...

I had a similar problem when I apparently had set a mobile data limit
for the mobile hotspot. So not just the *general* mobile data limit, but
a *specific* one for (only) the mobile hotspot.

For my Samsung Galaxy A51 Android 13 phone:

Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Hotspot and Thethering -> Mobile
Hotspot -> (displays current mobile hotspot) -> Configure -> Advanced ->
Set mobile data limit

Sorry, it's a Samsung zflip5 on Telus service. 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).

There are no other preconditions. If the laptop can connect with the
hotspot, it should have internet access as well as long as the
smartphone is connected to the internet.

Maybe you installed some kind of firewall app or other "security" tools?

Did you change your mobile network provider or plan? Sometimes plans may
not allow using tethering, although I've not seen this for many years.

Maybe your device itself has a data limit? This would also apply to the
hotspot.
