[4.25] Skylight with higher intensity causes very bright Sky Atmosphere in Raytrace Reflections

OK this is helpful. Thank you. I was moreso concerned about what you addressed: this issue is happening and therefore is Skylight Intensity not meant to be turned up past 1?

So, with that being answered I have a few questions on my options like you suggested.
So, this is my scene with a Skylight intensity of 1.

I feel like, even though the Sun is at a low angle for sunset, the sky is still fairly bright. I think there should be more overall bounce/ambient lighting in the darker areas. Here’s how it looks with a Skylight intensity of 8:

I think the second pics look much better for the scene. So, if I am not supposed to turn up the Raytrace Skylight to achieve this, how should I go about achieving this with stationary/dynamic raytrace lighting in 4.25?
