Google bots crawl rate

Question

Hello,
According to Google, we have maximized the crawl rate on our servers, which can cause excessive crawling that affects the performance of the websites.
Is there a way to limit the crawl rate? Ideally without this causing Google to eliminate products from Adwords campaigns because it cannot access the product landing pages.
