Android 4.4.2 hotspot shuts down

We have a Samsung S4 on Verizon running Android 4.4.2. Its most important use is as a WiFi hotspot. In the last few weeks it has been acting differently than in the past. When we separate the phone from all of its WiFi clients for a while (15-30 minutes?), the hotspot function turns off. This is no doubt a good feature for many users, but we have an unlimited data plan and would prefer not to have to turn the hotspot back on whenever we re-unite the phone and its clients. Is there a screen somewhere in Settings or ??, that would allow us to control this auto-turn-off function?

Thanks,
