    I want to build a sort of dynamic day/night cycle in my project. I have baked lighting I'm happy with, but want to adjust the exposure in run time to increase/decrease the intensity contribution of the baked lighting. Is this possible?

    Unfortunately, there is no convenient way to do this at the moment in URP, nor in Built-in RP. However, if you are using shaders created in Shader Graph, you could try and make use of the Baked GI Node. This method should work both in URP and HDRP.

    HDRP allows to tweak baked lightmap intensity via the Indirect Lighting Controller. Feel free to suggest this idea in the URP product board website. It will be looked at and considered by the development team.

    Thanks for the reply! I'll look into the Baked GI node.
