+### Exception is thrown when applying migrations if there are pending model changes
+
+[Tracking Issue #33732](https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/33732)
+
+#### Old behavior
+
+If the model has pending changes compared to the last migration they are not applied with the rest of the migrations when `Migrate` is called.
+
+#### New behavior
+
+Starting with EF Core 9.0, if the model has pending changes compared to the last migration an exception is thrown when `dotnet ef database update`, `Migrate` or `MigrateAsync` is called:
+> The model for context 'DbContext' has pending changes. Add a new migration before updating the database. This exception can be suppressed or logged by passing event ID 'RelationalEventId.PendingModelChangesWarning' to the 'ConfigureWarnings' method in 'DbContext.OnConfiguring' or 'AddDbContext'.
+
+#### Why
+
+Forgetting to add a new migration after making model changes is a common mistake that can be hard to diagnose in some cases. The new exception ensures that the app's model matches the database after the migrations are applied.
+
+#### Mitigations
+
+There are several common situations when this exception can be thrown:
+
+- There are no migrations at all. This is common when the database is updated through other means.
+  - Add a migration. If you don't plan to use migrations for managin the database schema then remove the `Migrate` or `MigrateAsync` call.
+- There are some migrations, but the model snapshot is missing. This is common for migrations added manually. The exception will not be thrown.
+  - Add a new migration, this will update the model snapshot.
+- The model wasn't modified by the developer, but it's built in a non-deterministic way causing EF to detect it as modified. This is common when `new DateTime()`, `DateTime.Now`, `DateTime.UtcNow`, or `Guid.NewGuid()` are used in seed data.
+  - Add a new migration, examine its contents to locate the cause, and replace the dynamic data with a static, hardcoded value in the model. The migration should be recreated after the model is fixed. If dynamic data has to be used for seeding consider using [the new seeding pattern](/ef/core/what-is-new/ef-core-9.0/whatsnew#improved-data-seeding) instead of `HasData()`.
+- The last migration was created for a different provider than the one used to apply the migrations.
+  - This is an unsupported scenario. The warning can be suppressed using the code snippet below, but this scenario will likely stop working in a future EF Core release. The recommended solution is [to generate a separate set of migrations for each provider](xref:core/managing-schemas/migrations/providers).
+- The migrations are generated or choosen dynamically by replacing some of the EF services.
+  - The warning is a false positive in this case and should be suppressed: `options.ConfigureWarnings(w => w.Log(RelationalEventId.PendingModelChangesWarning))`
+
+If your scenario doesn't fall under any of the above cases and adding a new migration continually creates the same migration or an empty migration and the exception is still thrown then create a small repro project and [share it with us in a new issue](https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/new/choose).
