Abstract
A system includes a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including identifying an amount of storage charge loss (SCL) that has occurred on an open block of the memory device, the open block having one or more erased pages, determining that the amount of SCL satisfies a threshold criterion corresponding to an acceptable amount of SCL to occur on the open block, and responsive to determining that the amount of SCL satisfies the threshold criterion, keeping the open block open for programming the one or more erased pages.
