We present a model for how frequency fluctuations comparable to the total cavity linewidth may arise in tunable and nonlinear microwave cavities and how these fluctuations affect the measurement of scattering-matrix elements. We apply this model to the specific case of a two-sided cavity and obtain closed-form expressions for the average scattering-matrix elements in several important cases. A key signature of our model is the subtle deformation of the trajectories swept out by scattering-matrix elements in the complex plane. Despite this signature, the fluctuating and nonfluctuating models are qualitatively similar enough to be mistaken for one another. In the case of tunable cavities, we show that if one fails to account for these fluctuations, then one finds damping rates that appear to depend on the tuning parameter, which is a common observation in such systems. In the case of a Kerr cavity, we show that there exists a fundamental lower bound to the scale of these frequency fluctuations in the steady state, imposed by quantum-mechanical uncertainty, which can appreciably affect the apparent damping rates of the cavity as the strength of the nonlinearity approaches the cavity linewidth. By using our model as a fitting function for experimental data, however, one can extract both the true damping rates of the cavity and the effective scale of these frequency fluctuations over the bandwidth of the scattering measurement. Lastly, we compare this method for observing frequency fluctuations to other methods, one of which we extend beyond the regime of small fluctuations, and we discuss how ringdown measurements can be performed accurately in the presence of frequency fluctuations.
