Tether internet access from my mobile phone is lost

I would like to use my mobile phone to tether through usb in OpenWRT.
i have followed this guide in wiki https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/smartphone.usb.tethering and i installed the packages:

opkg install kmod-usb-net-rndis kmod-usb-net-cdc-eem kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether kmod-usb-net-cdc-subset  kmod-nls-base kmod-usb-core kmod-usb-net kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether kmod-usb2 

after installing all the aforementioned packets, then i did a reboot. I created a new interface, i assigned the usb0 and then i was able to access the internet.
some time later i noticed that i do not have access to the internet. By checking the interfaces i see that the tethering says that interface is not present. Abandoned usb0 device
i did a couple of reboots, without success.
any ideas please?

Phone discharged and switched off?

Reconnect the phone, observe messages on its screen, allow tethering if required.
Then show the output of cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices

Also run ip link show dev usb0 to confirm that it is UP and LOWER_UP. If not it is likely that the phone side has stopped serving the link.
