Question On demand shadow maps on per object basis

I got a day-night cycle system that moves directional light according to time. As an optimization I want to use OnDemand Shadow Map update - either with update on light movement or by manualy invoking every nth frame.
The issue is, when actors move across the scene, their shadows follow them with a visible lag. Is it possible to use on demand update for static objects only and keep full realtime for dynamic ones?
Only thing that comes to my mind is to use two separate lights and light layers but maybe there is a better solution out there.

 

I forgot to mention that it's a top-down, RTS-like view, so that might not be possible. On the other hand, things that happen in screen corners might not be that visible, I guess. I will look into that, thanks!
Eventually I will light only dynamic stuff with the directional light and create a spot light with on demand shadow map for the rest, maybe that will do. But I got a feeling that keeping a consistent look between them will be a pain.

 

Sounds good, will try it. Not sure if it is feasible at this point in development, we are quite close to the release. This system is not my creation and we got a lot of interlaced things there, so I am extra careful.
Just need a little bit more performance on consoles.
Thanks for the suggestions.

 

Was mixed cached shadows for directional lights not introduced with 2022.1?

 

I am facing a similar issue with circular shadows which moves with camera.
Using OnDemand and updating the render every 0.5 seconds.
Tested with Unity 2020.3.30f1 and 2022.3.0f1.
I don't see the option - Allow Mixed Cached Shadows in 2020.3.30f1 here is the screenshot


The option is available in 2022.3.0f1 but even after enabling it the shadow is still visible.

The issue : Circular shadow appears around the camera.
