Offline-to-online reinforcement learning harnesses the stability of offline pretraining and the flexibility of online fine-tuning. A key challenge lies in the non-stationary distribution shift between offline datasets and the evolving online policy. Common approaches often rely on static mixing ratios or heuristic-based replay strategies, which lack adaptability to different environments and varying training dynamics, resulting in suboptimal tradeoff between stability and asymptotic performance. In this work, we propose Reinforcement Learning with Optimized Adaptive Data-mixing (ROAD), a dynamic plug-and-play framework that automates the data replay process. We identify a fundamental objective misalignment in existing approaches. To tackle this, we formulate the data selection problem as a bi-level optimization process, interpreting the data mixing strategy as a meta-decision governing the policy performance (outer-level) during online fine-tuning, while the conventional Q-learning updates operate at the inner level. To make it tractable, we propose a practical algorithm using a multi-armed bandit mechanism. This is guided by a surrogate objective approximating the bi-level gradient, which simultaneously maintains offline priors and prevents value overestimation. Our empirical results demonstrate that this approach consistently outperforms existing data replay methods across various datasets, eliminating the need for manual, context-specific adjustments while achieving superior stability and asymptotic performance.
