The scaling factor is based on a relationship between the particular data tape error correction value and a rate of degradation of the data tape. The scaling factor may be generated by applying a trained machine learning model to attributes of a data tape. The model generates a scaling factor for a particular data tape based on the attributes of the particular data tape.
