    seems to be happening even on the very latest version as of today - Unity 2021.2.0b12.

    Everything seems to be working after bake, then one of several things I do can cause the light data to disappear:

    - Move the object (doesn't always happen)
    - Save scene (doesn't always happen)
    - Enter play mode (always happens)

    I think it's worth mentioning that the bug affects realtime lights only, mixed ones don't lose their data in the probes.
    Also realtime lights don't lose their data if only realtime GI is enabled.

    It is still problematic though as in some cases where you have more than 3 mixed lights overlapping, the 4th nearby one needs to be realtime otherwise it looses its light if you bake in Shadowdistance mode (which has a 3 mixed lights overlap limit).

    so, is that it? "WON'T FIX"... are we going to just have to deal with crappy lighting for the rest of our lives? >__>

    Only happens when baking with plm. Every version I tried since plm introduction.

    It's still there in Unity 2019.1.14. and not even a comment here. Unbelivable. I am really close to switch to other engine after 4 years of using Unity...

    Addition: this data loss is observable only when baking light with Progressive Lightmapper. The problem was caused by the Ambient Light in Realtime mode.

    Same. 2018.3.12f1. To be more accurate, only the indirect lighting data is lost in my case.
