Self-refresh state with decreased power consumption

A method, comprising:

• entering a self-refresh state to refresh a plurality of rows of memory cells at a memory system;
• executing, based at least in part on entering the self-refresh state, a plurality of first refresh operations on the plurality of rows of memory cells according to a first rate for executing refresh operations;
• determining, while the memory system is in the self-refresh state, whether to decrease a rate for executing refresh operations in the self-refresh state from the first rate to a second rate based at least in part on whether each row of the plurality of rows of memory cells is refreshed according to the first rate;
• and
• executing a plurality of second refresh operations on the plurality of rows of memory cells according to the second rate based at least in part on determining whether to decrease the rate.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• enter a self-refresh state to refresh a plurality of rows of memory cells at a memory system;
• execute, based at least in part on entering the self-refresh state, a plurality of first refresh operations on the plurality of rows of memory cells according to a first rate for executing refresh operations;
• determine, while the memory system is in the self-refresh state, whether to decrease a rate for executing refresh operations in the self-refresh state from the first rate to a second rate based at least in part on whether each row of the plurality of rows of memory cells is refreshed according to the first rate;
• and
• execute a plurality of second refresh operations on the plurality of rows of memory cells according to the second rate based at least in part on determining whether to decrease the rate.
