MS ID rate is a good preparation of the MS run quality. Usually, raw files from Q-Exactive series should have roughly around 50% ms ID rate (Percentage of MSMS spectra identified as peptides, at a 1% FDR) for human cell culture digest, and at least 20% for metaproteomics samples according to experience. This number is a bit lower on QE- HFX and Exploris 480, because the scan rate is faster but the MS2 quality is not a bit lower
MS ID rate should also be well-reproduced across samples and groupings.
Check the raw files if they have abnormally low ID rate, usually with abnormal LC/basepeak profile or low MS intensity.
A decreasing MS ID trend along sample running order indicates a performance drop of the MS: your MS might need to be cleaned. If the performance drops a lot, more than 20% within running time for the whole project, without scramble of the sample run-order, the data might not be usable, unless very carefully calibrated.
The overall performance for all raw files:
