Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing usage-based disturbance (UBD) counter repair are described. In example implementations, a memory device includes multiple memory rows, multiple corresponding UBD counters, a register, and a spare UBD counter. If a UBD counter is faulty, logic can substitute the spare UBD counter. To do so, the logic can store a row address corresponding to the faulty UBD counter in the register. The logic can increment a value in the spare UBD counter responsive to a row activation corresponding to the stored row address. A mitigation procedure on a row that may be affected by the activation can be performed based on the value. A host device can control, at least partially, the UBD counter repair process. In these manners, a repair of a faulty UBD counter can be accomplished faster and/or with fewer resources as compared to replacing a memory row and corresponding UBD counter.
