Claim 8:
9. A method comprising:
determining, by a processing device, to perform a rewrite on at least a portion of a plurality of memory cells of a memory device, wherein a first subset of the plurality of memory cells store a first logic state and a second subset of the plurality of memory cells store a second logic state;
incrementing a counter of a number of rewrite operations performed at the second subset of memory cells by a first value in response to determining to perform the rewrite on at least the portion of the plurality of memory cells;
determining that the number of rewrite operations performed at the second subset of the plurality of memory cells fail to satisfy a threshold criterion based on comparing the number of rewrite operations performed at the second subset of memory cells to the threshold criterion;
rewriting data stored at the second subset of the plurality of memory cells in response to determining the number of rewrite operations performed at the second subset of the plurality of memory cells fail to satisfy the threshold criterion; and
decrementing the counter of the number of rewrite operations performed at the second subset of memory cells by a second value based at least in part on rewriting the data stored at the first subset of the plurality of memory cells.
