If your squat and deadlift are still climbing, I wouldn't panic. Bench usually moves slower than the other big lifts. Sometimes all it takes is sticking with the plan for another month.

Strength is weird, man. I stayed at the same bench for almost two months, then hit a 10-pound PR out of nowhere

One thing that helped me was building my upper back instead of just benching more. Heavy rows, pull-ups, face pulls, and rear delt work made the bench feel a lot more stable. Everyone wants another chest exercise, but a stronger back made the biggest difference for me.
