What breaks

Amazon DocumentDB Extended Support lets clusters keep running an engine version for an additional cost, for up to 3 years past its end of standard support date. After that time, Amazon DocumentDB upgrades the engine version of any cluster that has not been upgraded to a supported version. Separately, AWS states that Amazon DocumentDB upgrades a cluster to the last engine version released before the end of the Extended Support date, if the cluster is not already on that version, and that this upgrade period does not occur until after the standard support date for that engine version. The support dates table lists a start date for year 1 pricing and a start date for year 3 pricing, see Amazon DocumentDB engine version support dates and Extended Support charges.

What to do

Upgrade each enrolled cluster to a newer engine version that is still under standard support. For a major engine version, AWS documents two routes: Upgrading a major engine version and Upgrading using AWS DMS.
Plan for downtime with the in-place major version upgrade: the cluster is unavailable during the upgrade, and a downgrade to a previous version is not possible afterwards.
Enrollment in Extended Support can be ended at any time. It ends the day the upgrade completes.
Check the supported versions and their dates in Amazon DocumentDB engine version support dates.
