Crawl budget

For most sites it is not a bottleneck. Google says crawl budget is mainly a concern for very large sites, with hundreds of thousands of pages or more, and for sites whose content changes many times a day. A site of a few hundred or a few thousand pages is usually crawled in full.

When it does matter, the waste is the usual suspect: many near-identical URLs from filters and parameters, redirect chains, error pages and sitemap entries that lead nowhere. Cleaning those up lets the crawler spend its visits on pages you want found.

If a new page is slow to appear in search, crawl budget is rarely the first thing to check. Start with whether the page is linked, in the sitemap, and not blocked or marked noindex.
