first, there is no free technical support when a product is on extended support, all technical support must be purchased. In general extended support is security fixes only. see policy:

Hello team,
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide me with information on how the Extended Support program works for SQL Server 2017.
Specifically, I would like to know:
- Does the Extended Support program cover security updates, bug fixes, and cumulative updates for SQL Server 2017?
- Are there any additional costs associated with accessing the Extended Support for SQL Server 2017?
- What is the process to obtain Extended Support for SQL Server 2017, and what are the prerequisites?
I am seeking this information to ensure that I have a clear understanding of the options available for continued support for SQL Server 2017 beyond its standard support lifecycle.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Best regards,
Firas
