Abstract
A system can include a memory device containing blocks made up of wordlines respectively connected to sets of memory cells, and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device to perform operations including responsive to receiving a read request that specifies a block, determining a value of a metric reflective of a number of programmed wordlines of the block. The operations can also include responsive to determining, based on the value of the metric, that the block is in a partially programmed state, identifying a read voltage offset corresponding to the value of the metric, and performing, using the read voltage offset, a read operation responsive to the read request.
