bonafide residence test for PhD student

I am a PhD student in the UK, and I started in 2021 on a student visa that lasts for 5 years. For the past two years, I have qualified for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion with the physical presence test. In 2024, I will not pass the physical presence test beacuse I will be on vacation in the US for 2 months and researching for 3 months at a US institution as a part of my PhD. I plan to return to the UK after my US research placement to complete my PhD. After my PhD, I may stay and in the UK on a graduate or individual visa for work. Will I pass the bonafide residence test in 2024?
