1. A thermostat for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system comprising:
a controller configured to:
determine temperature data;
determine that an amount of elapsed time since a heating cycle of an HVAC unit began is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount of time;
in response to determining that the amount of elapsed time is greater than or equal to the predetermined amount of time, determine that a first current temperature is less than or equal to a low threshold temperature, wherein the low threshold temperature is less than a target temperature; and
in response to determining that the first current temperature is less than or equal to the low threshold temperature, adjust a response setting of the thermostat by a predetermined adjustment amount.
