Latest news i was able to find: https://last-chance-for-eidas.org/

I cite that article:

Last week, representatives of the European Parliament, Council and Commission announced they had signed off on the eIDAS Regulation and that a vote in Parliament’s ITRE committee will be held on November 28th. We understand that although no changes have been made to Article 45, there were last-minute changes to the accompanying Recital 32. However, the EU has still not published the agreed legal text. There are now less than 13 days until the vote and the cyber security community, civil society and the public are still unable to read the proposed regulation, let alone scrutinize its impacts.

Looks like they didn't expect it to pass a vote, just like with chat control, and postponed it indefinitely.

They will surely bring it back for discussion in a few months/years though, just like with chat control.
