Some quite exciting news about Ingenuity - Its mission will start to transition from 'technology demonstration' to 'operations demonstration' where mission operators will begin to use the heli as a scout for the Perseverance rover. The first round of operations demonstration is set for an additional 30 days beyond the initial 'Month of Ingenuity', however I cannot imagine if everything is going well they won't extend it indefinitely.
This is largely due to the fact that mission operators have identified the current location in Jezero crater as a potential site for the first round of sampling/caching operations, so Perseverance will be staying in the area for at least the immediate future.
