1. A method comprising: receiving, by a storage server, an indication of an event, wherein the indication of the event corresponds to a first severity; determining, by the storage server, when the event is associated with a first stream of commands, wherein the first stream of commands comprises a plurality of commands sharing a same stream indicator; determining, by the storage server, when the indication of the event is a first indication of the event received by the storage server; setting, by the storage server, a maximum allowed count of in-flight commands to be less than a current count of in-flight commands, when the indication of the event is the first indication of the event received by the storage server; determining, by the storage server, that the first severity is greater than a second severity, when the indication of the event is not the first indication of the event received by the storage server, wherein the second severity corresponds to a previously received indication of the event; and decreasing, by the storage server, the maximum allowed count of in-flight commands, when the first severity is determined to be greater than the second severity.
