1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories;
one or more processors, the one or more processors, individually or collectively and based at least in part on information stored in the one or more memories, being configured to:
receive, from a network entity, a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration to configure a DRX cycle;
monitor, within an activation period for a control channel, for messages from the network entity within one or more first monitoring occasions defined by a first monitoring pattern, wherein the one or more first monitoring occasions are associated with a first periodicity, wherein a first timer associated with the first monitoring pattern is an integer multiple of the first periodicity, and wherein the first monitoring pattern includes periodic slots;
monitor, after expiry of the first timer, for messages from the network entity within one or more second monitoring occasions defined by a second monitoring pattern, wherein the second monitoring pattern includes periodic slots, and wherein the one or more second monitoring occasions and the one or more first monitoring occasions are both associated with a first UE-specific search space (USS) of a plurality of USSs associated with a same start offset;
monitor for messages from the network entity within one or more monitoring occasions associated with a second USS of the plurality of USSs, wherein the second USS is associated with a periodicity that is an integer multiple of a second periodicity of the second monitoring pattern and a third periodicity of a third monitoring pattern; and
monitor, after expiry of a second timer associated with the second monitoring pattern, for messages from the network entity within one or more third monitoring occasions defined by the third monitoring pattern, the one or more third monitoring occasions being included within the activation period associated with the one or more first monitoring occasions.
