On the gpu architecture that metal, the bug cause by LightComponent's Strength property.

Ah, issue is reproducible in Unity 2021.3.4f1 (Macbook, target iOS). It's absolutely not resolved...

And one more update :) It happens on Mac if build target is set to Android or iOS. If build target is switched to OXS the slider works as expected

It seems like it only affects Unity 2021.3 for Mac. The same version for Windows works fine. Haven't checked Linux Editor though

Seeing same problem in 2020.3.32 LTS - please backport
If you choose Realtime Shadow Strength slider values very carefully, some specific values seem to be ok? We have to adjust every light in our game to an arbitrary working value now? -

+100 for backporting to 2020!
Did a rollback to 2019 since it's impossible to use 2020 due to the issue.
