How to force shadow details appear at longer distance?

Unfortunately none of the suggested changes has any effect on distance at which the detailed shadows kick in. I did manage achieving what I was after somehow as seen in the following GIF: https://i.gyazo.com/7fff6aa6d67d00f8186005c840fdfeb4.mp4

However, I don’t really know how. The shadows are infinite range and dynamic, however the effect seems bugged as neither cascaded shadow maps or distance field shadow settings have any effect and I can’t reproduce the effect in a new map.
