No matter how you like to participate in developer communities, Pulumi wants to meet you there. If you want to meet other Pulumi users to share use-cases and best practices, contribute code or documentation, see us at an event, or just tell a story about something cool you did with Pulumi, you are part of our community.

Pulumi Community

That is fairly common. It happens when Pulumi cannot know the value during the dry run (preview / 1st part of up), and reports the potential update. Then when the update actually happens, there is no change (old value = new value).
Common culprits are values that get pushed to vaults or secrets, but there are other cases too.
