1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
communicating with a network device via a first instance of a periodic data burst, wherein the periodic data burst comprises one or more uplink or downlink transmissions scheduled on a first bandwidth part;
starting a bandwidth switching timer in connection with the first instance of the periodic data burst;
determining whether the bandwidth switching timer has expired based upon expiration of an inactivity timer triggered by one or more downlink control channel messages, wherein the inactivity timer is different from the bandwidth switching timer; and
operating, based at least in part on the determination, on one of the first bandwidth part or a second bandwidth part during at least a portion of a time period that extends from the expiration of the inactivity timer and a second instance of the periodic data burst.
