Mathf.Clamp is 'Sticky'?

Question

I have a camera parented to a pivot object that I control to rotate around it.

I've Mathf.Clmaped the values and it works well, but if I go to an extremity and get clamped and then attempt to change direction, there is a huge delay before the camera begins to rotate, making its boundaries feel 'sticky'

Any help is appreciated. Thanks! - YA

No. Clamp is a 1-time thing, and isn't the tiniest bit "sticky." For example: in int x=Mathf.Clamp(x,1,10); x=x+y; the second adding line y doesn't know or care about the clamp, and will gladly take x out of the 1-10 range.

Clamp is merely: if(x<min) x=min; else if(x>max) x=max;. It doesn't do anything more than that.

When it seems like a 1-time operation is continually affecting an object, sometimes it's because you're accidentally running the line for many more frames than you intended. But it's never because you "queued-up" that line a few frames ago (unless you put it in a coroutine.)
