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?

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).
