Juno is now near the far end of an elongated elliptical orbit. There isn't
much for it to do now, not until its next close encounter in about a month.
As to "draining valuable energy", ridiculous. Did you forget that it is
solar powered?  There is no fuel or anything to use up.  It gets a certain
amount of energy from the sun, use it or lose it. So if NASA wants a
couple of thousand not-so-useful pictures, why not?  I see no reason to
believe that Juno is not doing just fine, as long as it can tolerate the
harsh radiation environment.
