I've got more phones than fingers
i went to watch a short (30 sec) 4K video and in the settings i notice that it was only set at 720p and nothing higher than that(this was all done with the youtube app), so i went to watch another video with 1080p but still streaming at 720p in the settings...soooo i went on my pc and watch the same videos and i was able to watch them at 4K and 1080p....
im on the $60 plan with 8GB hotspot (but only paying $50,promo) why does it only stream at 720p when its suppose to be 1080p?

The YouTube app doesn't even let me choose video quality settings when I'm on cellular data. So it's probably a YouTube app limitation.
If you want to see if your videos are being throttled, just do a speed test using Fast.com. That uses Netflix servers - if BingeOn/DataMaximizer is on, it'll be throttled to 1.5 Mbps.

They're not limiting then. 1080p only needs like 5 or 6 Mbps... 720p around 3 or 4 Mbps, and 480p around 1.5 Mbps and 360p about 600 to 700 Kbps.

You have to turn off the data maximizer (it's enabled by default.)

no worries just trying to help...
Try filling a trouble ticket with cs and have them look deeply into the data maximizer and network settings. my guess something is stuck and needs a little push to get fixed.
good luck

What phone are you using? The video options are not specific to the network you use (for example, does 1080p become an option on wifi? I doubt it does). Have you done 1080p on this phone before?
I have a phone that tops out at 720p because that is the resolution of the phone. The highest I can pick no matter what is 720p60 (720p at 60 FPS). However, I also have my old Galaxy S7 that is locked to another carrier (so I use it on wifi) and it can top out at 1440p. Until a recent update. Samsung rolled out a performance optimizer and limited performance to 1080p automatically. So when this is turned on, no 1440p for me.
