@Asian Reaper I meant no physical signs of strain. Yes, he didn't want to use the Six Paths of Pain's abilities, but that was partially due to his opponents having counters for these abilities.

As I already stated, Obito clearly actually SAW the Rasengan dissipating. Pain did NOT see the nail dissipating. He only found that out at the end of the battle because Kakashi was still alive, so he did an overview and found out Kakashi used "that" visual Jutsu in order to get rid of the nail. Pain has a Rinnegan. Obito has a Rinnegan and MS and is DIRECTLY linked to Kakashi and has had a decade and a half to train his eyes and Kamui usage. Kakashi used Kamui on a NAIL against Pain. He used Kamui on a SHADOW CLONE against Obito. There's a massive size difference, and if Obito already saw the Rasengan, there's literally no reason whatsoever he doesn't see a shadow Clone disappearing, especially if the Rasengan is literally on the hand of the Kage Bunshin. Not to mention, you can't make the argument that Obito's eyes can't process a Kamui portal as fast as Kakashi's since Obito was literally making portals that were allowing him to transport at speeds faster than KCM Naruto. So yeah.

@Thekillman That wasn't because he wasn't able to handle that Bijuu. It's because the specific chains he put on the Biju weren't able to handle it. After that, he reinforced it and was able to control the Bijuu for the rest of the fight. Just as you said, he was improving the limits of the chains throughout the fight, but he wasn't improving his own limits. He wasn't at his own limit. "These fools can't even make me sweat."
