Resolution Note (2021.2.X):
After investigations, we believe this is related to a numerical precision issue that normally happens in render pipelines at a distance far enough from the camera or the light.
The workaround is to try and adjust the scale of your scene such that your objects are under 1000 units of distance from the camera or lights. E.g. consider 1000 units of the 3d space means 1km or adjust depending on your scenario.
Directional light to model sunlight can also be used (as it should not suffer from this problem), and other types of lights for more local illumination at close distances should be used.
