An operating system release is considered "supported" if the vendor continues to provide security patches for the product.

End Of Life dates for Oracle Linux 9 releases are as follows: Current end of Premier Support for Oracle Linux 9 is June 2032. Current end of Extended Support for Oracle Linux 9 is June 2035. Each minor version reaches end of life when the new version is released.
