SVG - arc animation jumping steps - svg

Question

I'm trying to make an svg animation for a path. The start result and the end result are fine, but for some reasons there are no intermediate positions (the animation just jumps from start to end after the duration.
This is the code I'm using:
<svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><defs><style>.cls-1{fill:none;stroke:#96cb61;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-linejoin:bevel;stroke-width:10px;}</style></defs><title>percentage-green</title>
<path
id="p1"
class="cls-1"
d="
M 20 40 A 20 20 0 1 0 40 20
"
/>
<animate xlink:href="#p1"
attributeName="d"
attributeType="XML"
from="M 20 40 A 20 20 0 1 0 40 20"
to="M 50 57.32050807568877 A 20 20 0 0 0 40 20"
dur="10s"
/>
</svg>

If I understand you correctly, despite the difficulties you want to do an arc animation.
Arc formula
<path d="M mx,my A rx,ry x-axis-rotation large-arc-flag, sweep-flag x,y" />
Large-arc-flag and sweep-flag are integer-constant, which take only two values of "0" or "1" and do not lend themselves to smooth animation.
You can make a discrete transition animation from a large arc when Large-arc-flag = 1 to a small arcLarge-arc-flag = 0
On the example below the location of the small arc is indicated by a red dashed line.
The coordinates of the beginning and end of the small and large arcs coincide, only the value of the flag `Large-arc-flag from" 1 "to" 0 "
<svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 300 300">

<style>.cls-1{fill:none;stroke:#96cb61;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-linejoin:bevel;stroke-width:4px;}
</style>

<g transform="scale(2)">
<path id="p1"
class="cls-1"
d="M 20 40 A 20 20 0 1 0 40 20">
<animate
attributeName="d"
attributeType="XML"
repeatCount="5"
begin="Layer_1.mouseover"
from="M 20 40 A 20 20 0 1 0 40 20"
to="M 20 40 A 20 20 0 0 0 40 20"
dur="2s" >
</animate>
</path>
<circle cx="40" cy="20" r="3" stroke="dodgerblue" fill="none" />
<path d="M 20 40 A 20 20 0 0 0 40 20" stroke-dasharray="3" stroke="red" fill="none" />
</g>
</svg>
Animation begins when you hover the cursor
The second example
Is similar to yours - the parameter "d" of the patch will change smoothly, with the constant value of large-arc-flag = 1 (large arc)
Animation begins when you hover the cursor
