We have another Google Search Console bug to report, this one is with the crawl stats report. Yes, another legacy tool and report. The crawl stats report is a bit out of date, only having data as fresh as December 30, 2019. That is over a week old, and generally this report is about three-days old.
This was reported to me by @TheJonHopkins on Twitter and he is correct, I checked numerous profiles I have access to within Google Search Console and they all go up through December 30th:
I would not worry about this, it seems like the report got stuck. I highly doubt Google stopped crawling your web site. I would have seen bigger signs of issues if Google stopped crawling and indexing new content. And yes, Google did stop indexing content a few times last year. We normally pick up on that within hours of that happening.
Forum discussion at Twitter.
Update: John from Google responded:
Sounds like a case for server logs :). (I know, they're not always easy to get)

Another approach could be to look at the total outcome - what ended up getting indexed & is showing in search. The performance report is pretty low-latency, and you can download the URLs from there.
