    Abstract: Disclosed is a system that comprises a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations that include, receiving a read request to perform a read operation on a block of the memory device; determining whether an entry corresponding to the block is stored in a data structure associated with the memory device; responsive to the entry being stored in the data structure, incrementing a counter associated with the block to track a number of read operations performed on the block of the memory device; resetting a timer associated with the block to an initial value, wherein the timer is to track a period of time that elapses since the read operation was performed on the block of the memory device; determining that the counter and the timer satisfy a first criterion; and responsive to determining that the counter and the timer satisfy the first criterion, removing the entry corresponding to the block from the data structure associated with the memory device.

    Abstract: A method is described that includes performing a first erase operation on a set of memory cells of a memory device using an erase voltage, which is set to a first voltage value and adjusting the erase voltage to a second voltage value based on feedback from performance of at least the first erase operation. The method further includes performing a second erase operation on the set of memory cells using the erase voltage, which is set to the second voltage value. In this configuration, the erase voltage set to the second voltage value is an initial voltage applied to the set of memory cells to perform erase operations such that each subsequent erase operation on the set of memory cells following the first erase operation uses an erase voltage that is equal to or greater than the second voltage value when erasing the first set of memory cells.
