iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 keeps dropping WiFi - eating up data

Title says it all. For the first time ever, I received a data limit notification from Verizon. Low and behold, my iPhone has been inexplicably dropping a public wifi connection. Not to mention swapping between LTE and 5G every second in certain areas.

Public Wi-Fi on any device can be hit/miss. If data usage is an issue just turn off data

In a location where neither has happened in several years (5G excepted)? I did indeed turn off data, and iPad (2017) has no issues With wifi in the same location at the same time? Anecdotal, yes....just reporting.

edit: happened again on my iPhone 12 while I was typing this on my 2017 iPad without interruption .

Try switching to LTE, then report back and see if it still switches.

Just switched to LTE, will report back

Still switching. In fact I’ve logged in to this particular wifi network 6 times in the last hour and a half. My iPad (on the same network) has not lost the connection.

It may have something to do with the particulars of this public network, but is a behavior I have never seen before.
