Methods, systems, and devices for session-based memory operation are described. A memory system may determine that a logical address targeted by a read command is associated with a session table. The memory system may write the session table to a cache based on the logical address being associated with the session table. After writing the session table to the cache, the memory system may use the session table to determine one or more logical-to-physical (L2P) tables and write the one or more L2P tables to the cache. The memory system may use the L2L tables to perform address translation for logical addresses.
