1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a network entity, wideband communications over a first bandwidth part of a total bandwidth available for communications between the network entity and the UE;
identifying a last slot of the wideband communications based at least in part on an end of burst indicator provided with control information from the network entity, wherein the last slot of the wideband communications is identified prior to reception of the last slot of the wideband communications; and
switching, based at least in part on the identifying, from the first bandwidth part to a second bandwidth part subsequent to the last slot of the wideband communications, wherein the second bandwidth part spans a narrower portion of the total bandwidth than the first bandwidth part.
