Adjusting pass-through voltage based on threshold voltage shift

Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device can perform operations including performing a read operation on a block of the memory device by applying a read reference voltage to a selected wordline of the block and applying a pass-through voltage having a first value to a plurality of unselected wordlines of the block; detecting a read error in response to performing the read operation; and setting the pass-through voltage to a second value, wherein the second value is greater than the first value.
