You can manually disable the update until it is auto-activated.

When: This update is automatically enforced on August 12, 2020 and has been available for activation since Spring ’20.

Note

The auto-activation (enforcement) date is now advanced, by almost a year, to August 12, 2020 from August 9, 2021. Sandbox orgs that are upgraded to Summer ’20 have this update enabled by default. You can manually disable the update until the automatic enforcement date. To get the major release upgrade date for your instance, go to Trust Status, search for your instance, and click the maintenance tab.

How: To apply this update, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Release Updates, and select Release Updates. Then select this Release Update.

Why: This update fixes known bugs by improving internal systems that define and cache org schema, including standard objects, custom objects, and their fields. The documented behavior of your org’s schema remains unchanged. The update fixes bugs where the documentation doesn’t match the known behavior. This update also resolves rare, intermittent cases where undocumented object types are visible in Apex describe result methods or where version-specific schema details are improperly reused.
