Abstract

An apparatus comprises at least one processing device configured to determine a performance prioritization budget, to assign first and second rate limits for workloads running on the storage system, and to assign a third rate limit to each of a subset of the workloads, a sum of the third rate limits assigned to respective workloads of the subset being less than or equal to the performance prioritization budget. The at least one processing device is also configured to monitor performance, and to dynamically adjust a current rate limit for at least a given workload based at least in part on the monitored performance. If the given workload is in the subset, the current rate limit is dynamically adjusted between its assigned third and second rate limits. If the given workload is not in the subset, the current rate limit is dynamically adjusted between its assigned first and second rate limits.
