But, perhaps a tiny tweak could remove what is called abuse of it ?

If entering vacation mode comes with a delay, lets say the moment you hit vacation mode it comes with a delay. For example 12 ticks delay for it to actually become active.

- If you are actually going away on vacation or have a planned time away from PA, you normally should be able to know this 12 ticks in advance?
Agreed with this.

This would open a possibility to misuse it so it might be better to not be able to cancel it at all..
If it can be canelled then it has to be monitor by someone on how many times you 'start' vacation mode only to cancel it 11 hours later..

Agreed.
