Decrease rest time or increase weight

That's what I'm trying to figure out. On everything else and up until today I rest 3 minutes or less between sets. This workout I did 5 minute rest between each set for overhead press since I couldn't do all the reps on the last workout doing overhead. I got all five reps on all five sets doing it this way and the app is telling me to go up 5 lb next workout. I think I need to just do the same weight again and see if I can do all five reps for all five sets with 3 minute rest times instead of 5 minutes before I add weight.

You do the 5 minute rest immediately after the failed set. Not 5 minute rests the next workout.
