Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device can perform operations including determining a voltage distribution metric associated with a at least part of a block of the memory device; determining a threshold value for the voltage distribution metric associated with the block; and responsive to determining that the voltage distribution metric exceeds the threshold value, performing a media management operation with respect to the block.
