On or before October 31st. 
My guess would be the 24th (Monday). Monterey was released on the 25th (Monday) last year. Big Sur was released in November the year before, so macOS releases have been pretty late recently. The last Ventura beta was an "e" build, so there's likely at least a few more betas left.

How do you make that determination based on the "e"? Is it like, "e" then "d" then "c" then "b" then, finally, "a" to signify the final release? Curious here.On or before October 31st.

Yeah, they work their way towards "a", and then the RC(s)/final release don't have a letter. Not every letter is always used though.How do you make that determination based on the "e"? Is it like, "e" then "d" then "c" then "b" then, finally, "a" to signify the final release? Curious here.
Here's an example of the build numbers from Monterey:

I'd guess probably at least 1 more beta, then maybe 1-2 RC's. Yeah, I'd guess October 24 might be the most logical date.
