Adjusting allocation of dispersed storage network resources

A computer readable storage medium comprises:

• at least one memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), causes the one or more computing devices to:
• monitor, over time for a user device, an actual service level in comparison to a subscription service level of a plurality of subscription services levels, wherein the subscription service level has a range of acceptable service, wherein the actual service level is a statistical measure of accessing the DSN, wherein the DSN includes a plurality of DSN resources that, in turn, includes a first performance level dispersed storage processing unit, a second performance level dispersed storage processing unit, a plurality of first performance level storage units, and a plurality of second performance level storage units;
• and
• when the actual service level is outside of the range of acceptable service, adjust allocation of one or more DSN resources of the plurality of DSN resources to bring a future service level back inside the range of acceptable service.

A computing device of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the computing device comprises:

• an interface;
• a memory;
• and
• a processing module operably coupled to the interface and the memory, wherein the processing module functions to:
• monitor, over time for a user device, an actual service level in comparison to a subscription service level of a plurality of subscription services levels, wherein the subscription service level has a range of acceptable service, wherein the actual service level is a statistical measure of accessing the DSN, wherein the DSN includes a plurality of DSN resources that, in turn, includes a first performance level dispersed storage processing unit, a second performance level dispersed storage processing unit, a plurality of first performance level storage units, and a plurality of second performance level storage units;
• and
• when the actual service level is outside of the range of acceptable service, adjust allocation of one or more DSN resources of the plurality of DSN resources to bring a future service level back inside the range of acceptable service.
