1. A method comprising:
suspending, by a processing device of a memory sub-system, a first garbage collection operation at completion of an initial garbage collection suspension interval;
determining, based on operations of a host system, whether new data is to be received from the host system within a threshold period of time;
in response to determining that the new data is to be received within the threshold period of time, adjusting the initial garbage collection suspension interval to form an adjusted garbage suspension interval; and
suspending a second garbage collection operation at completion of the adjusted garbage collection suspension interval.
