When does it stop being the "beginning" of September?

Ubisoft said in its July summer roadmap update trailer that there would be a "quality-of-life improvement update" in the "beginning of September." July. Beginning of September. Today is September 9. So, where's the update?

Minutes away, only a few grains of sand, according to fans who've decided to take matters into their own hands. Ubisoft hasn't publicly announced an exact release date for its early September update – which will add a "fast forward" feature to Shadows ahead of its meatier Claws of Awaji DLC on September 16. Assassin's Creed players are guessing based on the fact that, last week, PlayStation news account PlayStationSize noticed there was an "Assassin's Creed Shadows Update 01.010.036 Added to Database."

So, yesterday, when people started asking each other on Reddit if there was "Any update" on the update, which – Ubisoft said in July – would add the ability to fast forward the time of day and unfog the world map, others replied with the assurance of a ghost whisperer, "the 9th."
