Default Circuit Breaker Trip Amps

Can someone define what the "trip amps" on a breaker means? I have a
20A breaker that has a Trip Amps of 27A. I'm running a breaker right
at 20A and it's tripping after several minutes. I just increased it
to a 25A breaker, but I'd like to understand what "trip amps" means.
