1. A surgical instrument system, comprising:
a motor system, comprising:
a motor; and
a drive train coupleable to the motor and configured to actuate a firing member through a staple firing stroke; and
a control circuit coupled to the motor, wherein, during the staple firing stroke, the control circuit is configured to:
determine a relative capacity of the motor system during an interrogation, wherein the interrogation comprises:
setting the motor system to run the motor at an interrogation target speed for a period of time, wherein the interrogation target speed is greater than a current speed;
measuring an actual response speed of the motor during the period of time; and
determining a magnitude of a deviation between the actual response speed and the interrogation target speed during the interrogation; and
increase the speed of the motor to a new speed upon determining that the magnitude of deviation is at or below a predetermined threshold of deviation.
