How to fix crawl budget issues on a large informational site?

you should solve your technical problem like performance and seo and reupload your sitemap to google search console
 
If many pages are about the same thing, update them or combine them instead of adding more.
 
Check GSC crawl stats, server response times, duplicate URLs, and unnecessary parameter pages. Keep your sitemap clean and updated, and strengthen internal links to new articles. At 5,000 pages, crawl delays may also reflect content quality and site demand, not just technical issues.
 
Once a site grows into the thousands of pages, Google often stops crawling everything unless overall authority and content quality are strong. Start with a content audit, merging or deleting dead articles that earn zero impressions over six months.
 
Remove unnecessary URL variations caused by filters, tracking parameters, or duplicate pages.
