Abstract
A processing device is operatively coupled to an array of memory cells. The processing device determines that a media endurance metric value for a string of the array of memory cells satisfies a first threshold criterion based on a first threshold value. The processing device further controls, based on the media endurance metric value, a ramp rate of a program pulse applied to a wordline of the string.
