Fewer domains have been crawled recently and will be for a couple of days as a unique number is being added to all domains and a full refresh is being forced (broken domains are normally checked with an exponential backoff and generally have slower DNS responses).
In future I hope this will allow the number of database writes to be reduced by caching some updates in RAM, freeing up capacity for more reads (maybe for that API).
It would also make it easier to bring back the old "Progress view" which I doubt many will remember as it's been gone for over 10 years IIRC but it's something I miss 😀. It showed visually how recent domains had been refreshed (and helped find a few bugs).
