Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to support monitoring for paging messages from a base station (e.g., a cellular network node) using a greater periodicity than a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle periodicity. A UE may monitor for and receive paging messages from a network node using a first subscription registered with a first radio access technology (RAT) while operating in DRX mode for a second RAT associated with the base station. The UE may identify a first periodicity for monitoring for paging messages from the base station that is greater than the DRX periodicity. The UE may have a second subscription that may be registered with a second base station. The UE may perform a tuneaway procedure from the second base station and monitor for paging messages from the base station according to the first periodicity.
