Patent attributes
A client device may include various sensors that monitor an environment of the client device as well as operations performed by the client device. The client device may identify a digital item that a user has requested to download to the client device according to a predetermined schedule that includes multiple reoccurring periods. The client device may monitor access of the item (or versions thereof) by the user for each of the multiple reoccurring periods of the predetermined schedule. The client device may then determine that the user does not access the item during at least one instance of a particular period of the multiple reoccurring periods. Based at least in part on the determining, the client device may refrain from downloading the item to the client device during an instance of the particular period that is subsequent to the at least one instance of the particular period.
