**Q: Will I be charged for Extended Support if my server is stopped, failed, or not running??**

A: No. Extended support billing charges apply only to servers that are in a Succeeded (running) state. If a server is stopped, deleted, or in a failed provisioning state, extended support charges will not be applied for that period. Billing automatically resumes once the server returns to a succeeded state and continues running an end‑of‑life engine version under extended support.

Validate upgrades in a nonproduction environment before applying them in production. For more details, review the key considerations and limitations in [Major Version Upgrades](./concepts-major-version-upgrade.md) docs.
