1. A memory device comprising:
a plurality of memory dies, each memory die of the plurality of memory dies comprising;
a memory array; and
control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array, to perform operations comprising:
receiving a peak power management (PPM) token during a current PPM cycle;
in response to receiving the PPM token, determining, based on a set of communication frequencies, whether to communicate auxiliary data to at least one other memory die of the plurality of memory dies during the current PPM cycle, wherein each communication frequency of the set of communication frequencies indicates when a respective type of auxiliary data is eligible for communication during a PPM cycle; and
in response to determining to communicate auxiliary data to the at least one other memory die, causing a selected type of auxiliary data to be communicated to the at least one other memory die, wherein the selected type of auxiliary data is determined from the set of communication frequencies in view of the current PPM cycle.
