1. A method performed by a processing resource of a distributed storage system, the method comprising:
responsive to an event, obtaining information regarding a plurality of Quality of Service (QoS) settings assigned to a volume of the distributed storage system that is being utilized by a client;
determining a difference between a first QoS setting of the plurality of QoS settings and a second QoS setting of the plurality of QoS settings; and
responsive to determining the difference is less than a threshold:
determining a new value of the first QoS setting or a third QoS setting of the plurality of QoS settings that is greater than a respective current value of the first QoS setting or the third QoS setting; and
assigning the new value of the first QoS setting or the third QoS setting to the volume for the client.
