Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for a self-refresh state with decreased power consumption are described. A memory system may enter a self-refresh state to refresh a set of rows of memory cells at the memory system. Based on entering the self-refresh state, the memory system may execute a first set of refresh operations on the rows of memory cells according to a first rate. Additionally, the memory system may determine, while in the self-refresh state, whether to decrease the rate for executing the refresh operations to a second rate based on whether each of the rows of memory cells is refreshed according to the first rate. In cases that the memory system determines to decrease the rate for executing the refresh operations, the memory system may execute a set of second refresh operations on the rows of memory cells according to the second, slower, rate while in the self-refresh state.
