RHEL 8.10 is supported to May 31, 2029 — but a RHEL 8.6 box has received zero patches since November 2022 unless it had EUS. Which minor releases are actually patched today: 9.8 yes, 9.7 no (nothing since May 19, 2026), 9.6 only with EUS to May 31, 2027, 9.4 no since April 30, 2026. Every 8.x and 9.x minor, hand-verified against Red Hat's lifecycle API.
