so in the future I would recommend using a fee slightly higher than minimum average to make sure your transaction gets confirmed quicker even in cases of fee jumps like yesterday.
There is no need to pay higher than the required fee, unless you are in a hurry and you want to make sure that your transaction will be confirmed in the next block. Instead, I recommend using a wallet that supports RBF, so that you can easily replace your transaction with a new one paying higher fee.
