1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
identifying a first set of bands associated with a first subscription;
identifying a second set of bands associated with a second subscription different from the first subscription;
determining that a first band from the first set of bands and a second band from the second set of bands share a set of radio frequency front-end resources;
refraining from communicating on a third band from the first set of bands, the third band being associated with a secondary component carrier of a multi-carrier communications scheme, wherein refraining from communicating on the third band is based at least in part on determining that the first band and the second band share the set of radio frequency front-end resources and the third band being associated with the secondary component carrier; and
communicating on a remaining set of bands from the first set of bands and the second set of bands based at least in part on refraining from communicating on the third band.
