Take the deload/more rest days. Are you prepping for any sort of upcoming competition? If you are not, deloading for a week will not affect your long term gains. Rest more and recover properly to come back stronger. All the best for your finals!

Had the same issue with the battery cable on my 4xl as well! I didn't known it was a design fault. I swapped the battery out on my own but the screen eventually died. Worst pixel experience for me.
If it's a matter of illness like a cold or the flu, definitely stay out of the gym till that gets better. Else take the 1 week deload, then you can either continue your program, or switch out your training block to a different periodization phase.

You can also introduce variations to your lifts e.g more tempo squats or paused squats to work on your weaknesses or your form.
Don't forget to hydrate, sleep and eat well!
