Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device (WCD) may communicate, during a channel occupancy time (COT) associated with one or more resources, via a no listen before talk (no-LBT) channel access mode. The WCD may initiate, after the COT, a reduced COT associated with the one or more resources, wherein the WCD is configured to reduce channel occupancy during the reduced COT. Numerous other aspects are described.
