The Beta will indeed be dropped .
You will not have to update the URL in your .cdsapirc files in the immediate future.
There will be no change to your API keys.
In other words, there should be no impact to users when we switch from CDS-Beta to CDS in September as both CDS-Beta and CDS urls will continue to co-exist for longer.
The Data Stores Team has made every effort to facilitate transition by respecting as much as possible backward compatibility.
We will of course post an announcement when CDS-beta becomes the new CDS. So keep watching the Forum
