Methods, systems, and devices for prioritization of channel state information (CSI) processes based on a set of priority rules and a device capability are described. A user equipment (UE) may be capable of supporting multiple communication types such as ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC), shortened transmission time interval (sTTI), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) priority type, etc. The UE may indicate a CSI update capability that includes a number of CSI processes capable of being updated by the UE. The CSI update capability may be a joint CSI update capability provided for all communication types. Based on the CSI update capability of the UE and the set of priority rules, the UE may prioritize the updating of one or more CSI processes.
