Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for memory zone size adjustment are described. A memory system may dynamically update the size of a stale zone configured to store data written during a write burst or write booster mode. The stale zone may be part of a first block of memory cells, and may retain data during a transfer operation, such as flush operation. The size of the stale zone may be updated in response to the memory system receiving a command, such as an unmap command. The size of the stale zone may be determined based on an available zone size, an amount of data indicated in the command, an amount of data indicated in the command that has been transferred to a second block of memory cells, or a combination thereof.
