    I've tried this in two new test projects using HDRP. If I have a lit object (default sphere) and switch the camera's background type to "Color" the object gets brighter and brighter over time until the scene is entirely white.

    Disabling the sky and fog volume has no effect.

    Why?

    Edit: This is on Unity 2019.3.9f1

    Set fixed exposure in sky and volume.

    Thanks a lot! That fixed it. Two questions if you don't mind:

    1. Why did it fix it? (as in, what was happening before that fixed exposure prevented)
    2. How could I have figured this out on my own? (is there some documentation that I missed that would have covered that)

    Thanks again.

    Hi, this is how exposure work. Learning material are your best friends here to figure it out on your own:
    I highly recommend this one:
