Am I feeding too much?

Our little one is about 3 and a half weeks old. Weve now moved her up to 5oz a feed because she was draining the 4oz and then fighting sleep because she still seemed hungry. I follow her hungry cues (I think?) Like when she roots for the bottle - we give her plenty of breaks and burps and sometimes she will stop for like 5 or so minutes and then do a little cry for a bit more milk.

I wake her every 2 and a half hours to eat in the day and then we let her wake us at night time.

Am I feeding her too much? Can I let her go a bit longer between feeds? She never really wakes herself in the day to eat. Over night when she wakes herself she will only eat between 2 and 3 oz.

I was thinking of trialing letting her go like 3 to 3 and a half hours between feeds as she is eating more but not sure if that's okay
