# View current cluster support period
<a name="view-support-status"></a>

The **cluster support period** section of the AWS console indicates if your cluster is *currently* on standard or extended support. If your cluster support period is **Extended support**, you are being charged for EKS extended support.

For more information about standard and extended support, see [Understand the Kubernetes version lifecycle on EKS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/kubernetes-versions.html).

1. Navigate to the **Clusters** page in the EKS section of the AWS Console. Confirm the console is set to the same AWS region as the cluster you want to review.

1. Review the **Support Period** column. If the value is **Standard support until…​**, you are not currently being charged for extended support. You are within the standard support period. If the value is **Extended support…​** this cluster is currently being charged for extended support.

**Note**  
The **Support Period** cannot be retrieved with the AWS API or CLI.
