The current depends on the torque, so there are things you can do to
reduce the load on your power supply, such as moving slowly, or
moving fewer servos at once.

Also, if you have control of the pulse rate to the servos, slowing it down
will reduce the overall torque. To some extent. And the effect will vary
between different brands of servo. But it can be something worth trying
if it is an option for you.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
