1. A method, comprising:
receiving a command for a set of memory cells in a memory system;
determining, based at least in part on the command for the set of memory cells, a state of metadata bits assigned to the set of memory cells;
modifying a value of a counter that is for the state and that is assigned to the set of memory cells based at least in part on the metadata bits assigned to the set of memory cells being the state at receipt of the command, wherein the value of the counter indicates a quantity of commands received for the set of memory cells with the metadata bits in the state; and
transmitting, to a host system, state information for the set of memory cells that is based at least in part on the value of the counter assigned to the set of memory cells.
