So far (since Nov 2023) there have been exactly half of these aired, S15 will add another 8 eps, plus presumably another xmas special.
Thats 22 in total, so at least another 4 to be made (maybe 4 specials ?) or extend it beyond 26 episodes.

Either way, its doesnt seem likely to be cancelled after the end of the next season. Gatwa leaving however is quite possible.
I think it might have overstayed its welcome and could do with a multiyear hiatus before having a proper reboot under a new showrunner.

I don't think any of the Doctors have been poor, but have been let down by pedestrian writing with clunky dialogue and concepts. Most episodes feel like a slog that have been churned out without much love. Only the Toymaker episode had some of the classic fun and energy behind it.
