Checking online, i think it's a constant. I quote
"To summarize:
α (alpha): The probability of a Type I error (false positive rate), usually set as the significance level (e.g., 0.05).
β (beta): The probability of a Type II error (false negative rate).
Power (1 - β): The probability of correctly detecting a true difference (1 - Type II error), often set at a desired level (e.g., 0.80 or 0.90)."
I think, normally we take β(beta) value as 20% so 0.2 then 1-β=0.8.
