Is an an SSD's TBW/DWPD correlated with data retention time without power? (zerobytes.monster)

I see it's said that an SSD's data retention without power time goes down after the drive's TBW is exceeded and this leads me to assume there is a link between how many write cycles a drive is built to endure and its ability to keep the data when not powered. So in two drives with the same capacity but different TBW ratings data retention time without power would be higher in the higher-rated TBW drive. Is this true?
