Methods, systems, and devices for dynamic power control are described. In some examples, a memory device may be configured to adjust a first duration for transitioning power modes. For example, the memory device may be configured to operate in a first power mode, a second power mode, and a third power mode. When operating in a second power mode, the memory device may be configured to increase or decrease the first duration for transitioning to a third power mode based on a second duration between received commands. If no commands are received during the first duration, the memory device may transition from the second power mode to the third power mode.
