ASM doesn’t do balancing based on use. It just rebalances (either manually or
when certain events happen) to ensure the data is spread evenly across all
disks in a group.

One explanation is here: https://community.oracle.com/thread/2361397

And another is here:

All,

Does ASM move hot spots around in the background, or do you have to do a
rebalance accomplish that?

I cannot find anywhere in Oracle documentation stating that it does, so I
assume that that it does not.
