Client has an inexplicable jump in crawled pages being reported in Google Search Console

Recently a client of mine noticed an inexplicable jump in crawled pages being reported in Google Search Console.

We researched the following culprits and found nothing:

• Rel=canonicals are put in place
• No SSL/non SSL duplication
• We used a tool to extrapolate search query page data from Google Search Insights; nothing unusual
• No dynamic pages being made on the website
• All necessary landing pages are in the XML sitemap

Could this be a glitch in GSC?  We are wondering what the heck is going on.

That's what I thought.  We haven't seen any negative impacts in search volume or rankings from this.  However our client was concerned.
