Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for selective garbage collection are described. A host system may determine that a battery level is below a threshold or determine whether a power parameter of a memory system that includes a memory device satisfies a criterion. The host system may set a value of a flag. The memory system may perform an access operation and identify the value of the flag. The memory system may determine whether performing a garbage collection procedure is permitted based on identifying the value of the flag.
