1. An apparatus comprising:
a memory device;
a controller coupled to the memory device and configured to:
trigger a first instance of garbage collection, of the memory device, based on static values;
generate a prediction of a second instance of garbage collection;
generate a confidence interval for the prediction; and
responsive to determining that the confidence interval is greater than a threshold, trigger the second instance of garbage collection based on the prediction wherein the first instance of garbage collection is triggered before the second instance of garbage collection.
