1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least perform:
receiving, in a wireless communications system, configuration information comprising one or more transmission configuration indication states;
determining inactivity on the one or more transmission configuration indication states, based on one or more timers with one or more time thresholds for each transmission configuration indication state of the one or more transmission configuration indication states of the configuration information, wherein each time threshold of the one or more time thresholds is assigned based on ascertaining the ability of the beam to be monitored at a limen, and wherein the limen is based on a periodicity reduced from continuous or from a pre-established norm, and wherein the limen is calculated or pre-determined; and
enabling, based on the determining, discontinuously monitoring or ceasing monitoring of the one or more transmission configuration indication states.
