1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
operating in accordance with a dual connectivity configuration, wherein operating in accordance with the dual connectivity configuration is based at least in part on establishing communications with a first cell associated with a first frequency band and a second cell associated with a second frequency band;
receiving, based at least in part on operating in accordance with the dual connectivity configuration, a first slot format configuration for the first cell and a second slot format configuration for the second cell;
identifying, for at least a portion of a transmission time interval (TTI) and based at least in part on the first slot format configuration for the first cell, a conflict for communications scheduled for the UE, the conflict between a first communication direction for the UE via the first cell and a second communication direction for the UE via the second cell; and
communicating, during the at least the portion of the TTI and based at least in part on the first slot format configuration, via the first cell based at least in part on the first cell having priority over the second cell.
