  • Patent number: 11615830
    Abstract: A media management operation can be performed at a memory sub-system at a current frequency. An operating characteristic associated with the memory sub-system can be identified. The operating characteristic can reflect at least one of a write count, a bit error rate, or a read-retry trigger rate. A determination can be made as to whether the identified operating characteristic satisfies an operating characteristic criterion. In response to determining that the operating characteristic satisfies the characteristic criterion, the media management operation can be performed at a different frequency relative to the current frequency.
