Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a grant scheduling a data transmission for the UE, the data transmission associated with a rateless coding scheme. The UE may determine to disable feedback information for the data transmission based at least in part on the rateless coding scheme and one or more of: the DCI, a resource associated with the DCI, or a semi-persistent scheduling configuration associated with the data transmission. The UE may perform or monitor for the data transmission according to the DCI and the rateless coding scheme. The UE may perform or monitor for the feedback information for the data transmission according to the determining.
