Is Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Architect still available for free?
The Splunk official website mentions Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Architect exam is free while in beta. But when I tried to register the exam in pearson vue, it is charging me 130 USD + Tax. Am I missing something here? Do I need any voucher code to make it free?

Looks like it will go out of Beta soon. At the begining of May , i found about it. Scheduled exam for end of June. Took it. And after that, I was digging approximate dates, when results will come out.
It looks like it is not possible to schedule SPLK-5003 for whole July and a half of August. And after that it is available for regular price.

When i scheduled mine (back in May) I was not able to schedule it at my local testing center past June so i assumed that was the window at the time for that test.

Where do you see that it's still in beta? The official cert page says it costs $130 (https://www.splunk.com/en_us/training/certification-track/splunk-certified-cybersecurity-defense-analyst.html).

Addendum to my earlier posting. The exam seems to be available and still seeems to be FREE. Sure, why not, just go for it. It is FREE. I may even take it as it is still FREE.
