Lots of rain has finally gotten my CYA down! But just want to confirm I should leave the PH/TA alone?

Finally after last year having a crazy high CYA level due to incorrect readings my CYA is down!!! For those who saw my journey I started with a very large CYA reading, did a partial drain to get my CYA levels to close to 70, and then this year I noticed upon season opening the levels were around 60.

Well the last 2 weeks I've had lots of rain and having to drain some water below the skimmer line constantly, and these were my readings today:
FC: 4.5
CC: 0
PH: 7.4
TA: 130
CH: 125
CYA: 50
Temp: 76F

Aside from me topping off my chlorine level since it's close to 4, should I leave the PH alone? my TA oddly jumped higher as my PH went lower... (7.6 -> 7.4, 110TA to 130).

Otherwise I can finally celebrate that my CYA is under control 🎉

Yes, leave it alone. The pH will rise all by itself.
