Is it possible to connect to own hotspot? (Android)

Question

I created a WiFi-Hotspot with Android 10, and want to connect to it with the same phone. Is this possible with some "hacks"?

I know, it's a weird question and you may ask why I need this. The reason is that my provider granted me mobile data usage, that I only can use for sharing via hotspot. I don't know how they do it but it really only works for other devices connected to my hotspot - I myself can't use it. I also don't have a spare phone where i could put in my sim card and let it act as a router.

TL;DR: No, you cannot connect a device to its own hotspot, because devices only have one Wifi interface and those cannot send and receive transmissions at the same time.
