1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
monitoring one or more first synchronization signal block transmission opportunities for one or more synchronization signal block transmissions;
determining a failure rate of the one or more synchronization signal block transmissions based at least in part on monitoring the one or more first synchronization signal block transmission opportunities;
selecting, from a set that includes a first mode and a second mode, a mode for monitoring one or more second synchronization signal block transmission opportunities based at least in part on the failure rate of the one or more synchronization signal block transmissions relative to a threshold, wherein the first mode comprises monitoring a first quantity of the one or more second synchronization signal block transmission opportunities and the second mode comprises monitoring a second quantity less than the first quantity of the one or more second synchronization signal block transmission opportunities, and wherein the first quantity of the one or more second synchronization signal block transmission opportunities are associated with a first set of quasi-collocated synchronization signal block transmissions; and
monitoring at least one of the one or more second synchronization signal block transmission opportunities according to the mode for monitoring.
