Does BF 6 Beta end on 8/17 or 8/18?

Which is correct? I'm going to assume EA is but insider gaming has gotten a lot of things right about games (like ending of Xdefiant) even before the official devs statements came out. 

For Last Day of Weekend 2

EA official says 8/17  UTC 8

And in game (when it was up last weekend) said the same.

Which would be Sun morning  1 AM PT and 4 AM ET (meaning the game isn't playable Sunday day for USA)

However Forbes and Insider Gaming  says its 8/18 UTC 8 which would put it at:

Mon morning 1 AM and 4 AM ET (meaning the game is playable Sunday day for USA) 

I used time and date dot com  conversions to get the times. 

Normally this would be a non issue, but I am planning my weekend around the beta, so . . .
