Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for life expectancy monitoring for memory devices are described. A memory device may monitor a parameter of a component of the memory device or the memory device overall, and may determine whether the parameter satisfies a threshold. The parameter may represent or be associated with a lifetime of the component, a level of wear of the component, or an operating parameter violation of the component, or any combination thereof. The memory device may communicate, to a host device, an indication of the parameter satisfying the threshold, and the host device may use the information in the indication to adjust one or more parameters associated with operating the memory device, among other example operations.
