MySQL has a term io_capacity.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-configuring-io-capacity.html
> The innodb_io_capacity variable defines the overall I/O capacity available to InnoDB. It should be set to
approximatelythe number of I/O operations that the system can perform per second (IOPS). When innodb_io_capacity is
set,InnoDB estimates the I/O bandwidth available for background tasks based on the set value.

Perhaps we can have maintenance_io_capacity as well.
