Hi! It looks like our shadow map throttling system is kicking in here which can cause some shadow maps to be updated with a delay. If many shadow maps get “invalidated” at once the engine will need to be selective about which shadows to update first to guarantee decent performance.

Since this is not necessarily a bug for this reason I’ll close this as by design, but we are always working on making our throttling and scalability systems better to make issues like these less apparent.
