A computer-implemented method for remediating disruptions to memory cells is described. The method includes writing user data to an aggressor memory cell and determining a write timestamp and an overwrite count associated with the aggressor memory cell. The write timestamp indicates a last write to the aggressor memory cell and the overwrite count indicates the number of writes to the aggressor memory cell during a time period. Based on the write timestamp and the overwrite count, an increment value is determined for use with a disturb counter associated with a neighbor memory cell of the aggressor memory cell. In particular, the determined increment value is used, in response to the write, to increment the disturb counter associated with the neighbor memory cell. When the disturb counter is greater than or equal to a disturb threshold, remediation for the neighbor memory cell is performed.
