To be sure not everything Rav CHaim Vital says is Halacha. BUT he does not even say this. Rav Chaim Vital quotes the Zohar in bereishis which is talking about Hashem’s oath to keep us in Galus will only be for 1,000 years (the zohar say after 1000 years is because people did not do teshuva). Not talking about the Shalosh Shevuos.

He writes as follows:

??? ??? ??’ ??”? ???”? ?????? ???? ???? ??????? ???’ ????? ?????? ?? ??? ???? ?????? ?????? ?????”? ??? ?????? ?? ?????? ?? ????? ????? ???? ???? ????? ??? ??”? ?? ????? ??? ????? ?? ???? ????? ??? ?????? ????? ???? ?????? ????? ??? ???? ????? ????? ????? ????? ?”? ???? ??? ???? ???? ??”? ?? ??? ?????? ??? ?? ??? ???? ??”? ?”? ?????? ??’ ?????? ????? ?????? ?”? ????? ??”? ???????? ????? ?? ???? ??????? ???? ???? ???? ????? ???”? ????? ????? ?? ???? ????

??? ?? ??? ?’ ????? ???’ ?”?

Since ?????? ???? ???? ??????? is the Gemara’s source for the oath of ??? ???? ????? ????? then R’ Chaim Vital is either saying that it no longer applies, or he is arguing with R’ Zera that that was ever the oath to begin with.
