Why does keyframing not work on time of day?

What is the process for Setting keys on the time of day

i have an environment, cloudy sky enabled.

I see the sun - study documents are deprecated.

I’d like to render out the sun light changing on a scene/ like a time lapse over a few simulated hours, but can’t find any resources on discord or google.

I managed to find the properties of the time of day in the shader material.

found which parameters move when time of day changes ( in pictures attached below)

when i set a key, it breaks the simulation of the play button, the animation doesnt run, so the dynamic sky/sun doesn’t move when keys are applied.

I have to delete the keys just to get the time of day to run again.

any thoughts?
Id post 2 more pictures, but the site is limiting me to 1.

any help appreciated.

Yes, this is a known issue. I am not sure it is “officially” possible. I have seen a lot of people try to do this. Let me find out more details and get back to you.
