Short description of error

As you can see the same project is opened in both Blender 2.79 (left) and Blender 2.8 (right).
The results are different, the one in 2.8 has some weird dark edges. Here i am using transparency mixed with other shaders.
Here is the blend file
Clouds.blend

Is this related to #62691 Default Clamp value ?

If i put a plane with transparent shader in front of the clouds they render without dark edges

If Roughness of Refraction shader is ignored, set to zero or use a Sharp Distribution, problem does not exist.

It does not look like a bug. It just looks like Cycles gives a result more respectful of roughness after a fix.
Probably, this fix. 7613ffc

Your solution to set the roughness to 0 partially solves the issue, in the image i just skipped the Refraction BSDF, but unfortunately there are still some dark bands in the cycles render

90d4b823d7 seems to have had an effect on this, but that probably means the issue in some other sampling code.

This is what i have to achieve: a glowing effect for the sun rays passing through the clouds.
If there are other ways you know to achieve it, please tell me.

Hi can you test with blender 2.83 to see if the issue is still relevant https://builder.blender.org/download/
