I also am having this same issue.
I have an iPhone 8 and Xfinity Mobile is my cell carrier.
I went into the Xfinity Store today and they told me it was an iOS issue.
I just updated to iOS 14.2 and the issue is still not fixed.
——-Update——-
I just called my VPN and found that my cell data was switched off for my VPN app. When I turned that back on, I gained back my cell data connectivity. Problem solved for me. Hope this helps someone else.
