Description
Here is the official demo link: https://docs.mapbox.com/help/demos/map-design/standard-style.html
The default style used is "standard-beta," and there is no flickering when switching the lighting.

However, when I set the style to "standard," flickering occurs when switching the lighting. This flickering was not quite as severe in version 3.14.0.

When I upgraded the map version to 3.20.0, the flickering during lighting switches became extremely severe.

Research direction
Start with the linked official demo and compare the “standard” and “standard-beta” styles while switching lightPreset values. Reproduce the flickering on mapbox-gl-js 3.20.0 and compare it with 3.14.0; done means identifying and preventing the regression without changing the expected lighting transition.
