Methods, systems, and devices for frequency regulation for memory management commands are described. A memory device may maintain a respective first counter and second counter for each monitoring area of the memory device, where the counters may be incremented for each activate command received for the corresponding monitoring area. If the first counter satisfies a first threshold, an activate command issued to the monitoring area may be ignored. If the second counter fails to satisfy a second threshold, a memory management command issued to the monitoring area may be ignored and the memory device may maintain a value of the second counter, while decrementing the first counter. Alternatively, if the second counter satisfies the second threshold, the memory device may perform a memory management operation associated with a received memory management command and may decrement the first counter and the second counter.
