How do you all maintain ph levels while away on vacation over a duration of like 3 weeks.
Thanks in advance.

It can. Depends on your pH rise, TA of your fill water, etc.
I see you have an autocover. If left closed, your pH will not rise. Or if it does, very slowly.

Are you leaving the pool pump running? I do and we just close the cover and have had no problems with pH.

i do plan on running the pump probably not for as many hours as I do now. the ph does raise slowly with the pool cover on but I never checked if it can withstand for 3 weeks (probably not based on my memory)

Your Poolmath logs show a TA of 50. If so, the pH cannot rise much.
Float a couple pucks in a floater if you can with the autocover. That will provide some acid over time.

Update: I used pucks while I was away for 3 weeks. The PH just raised by 0.2. I had it lowered to 7.2 before i left to give a better buffer if it raises. I had put in 2 pucks ( from costco) and it was completely used up by the time I got back.
