This is from Google analyst.. Gary Illyes.

My mission this year is to figure out how to crawl even less, and have fewer bytes on wire.
A few days ago there was a post on a Reddit community about how, in the OC's perception, Google is crawling less than previous years. In the grand scheme of things that's just not the case; we're crawling roughly as much as before, however scheduling got more intelligent and we're focusing more on URLs that more likely to deserve crawling.
However, we should, in fact, crawl less. We should, for example, be more intelligent about caching and internal cache sharing among user agents, and we should have fewer bytes on wire.

You really need to tighten up the crawl budgets leaks with a solid Technical SEO setup now on.
