Lerp behaves weird

Hi guys,

I have this code which is called via InvokeRepeating("NewHighscore", 0, Time.deltaTime);

public void NewHighscore()
    	{
    		if(hsDoOnce)
    		{
    			hsLerpTime = 0;
    			hsDoOnce = false;
    		}
    
 
    		if(hsGrow)
    		{
    			levelCounter.fontSize = Mathf.CeilToInt(Mathf.Lerp(100, 200, (hsLerpTime += Time.deltaTime)* 2));
    			if(levelCounter.fontSize >= 200)
    			{
    				hsLerpTime = 0;
    				hsGrow = false;
    			}
    		}
    		else
    		{
    			levelCounter.fontSize = Mathf.FloorToInt(Mathf.Lerp(200, 100, (hsLerpTime += Time.deltaTime)* 2));
    			if(levelCounter.fontSize <= 100)
    			{
    				hsPulseCounter--;
    				hsLerpTime = 0;
    				hsGrow = true;
    				if(hsPulseCounter <= 0)
    				{
    					hsPulseCounter = hsPulseOriginal;
    					hsDoOnce = true;
    					CancelInvoke ("NewHighscore");
    				}
    			}
    		}
    	}

I expect the score font, which is a UI Text, to pulsate with equal speed three times. Instead it may do one pulse fast then the rest two slow, or all three slow or all three fast, etc.
I don’t understand what causes this behaviour.
I thought it may be due to the rounding up of the int, but that’s not the case, I tried without the roundup and it’s the same.

Any ideas what may be wrong?

Thanks!

The issue got fixed by putting the function call in the update using bool instead of doing it with InvokeRepeating as Baste suggested. However I don’t understand why couldn’t InvokeRepeating perform at the desired rate? Any explanation for this would be more than welcome.
