Not unless the SSD controller screws up big time.
SSDs keep track of how many times they write to which block. The manufacturer decides how many time a block is supposed to be written to before it’s considered degraded. When a block reaches its maximum number of writes, the controller sorta *retires* that block and uses a healthier spare block in its place.
