A DLC is on the PGs for 5 weeks before going live. This has been pretty reliable for a long time. So when .4 hits it’s often the last week of testing.
Edit: Zos typically will not reveal the release date of a dlc until just before it is released. The chapter they do provide a release date way ahead of time iirc.
