I think it just depends on what you call "active support". There will be 
no more bug fixes, only security fixes. To quote the latest PHP blog 
post https://www.php.net/archive/2022.php#2022-11-26-1

Please note, this is the last bug-fix release for the 8.0.x series. 
Security fix support will continue until 26 Nov 2023. For more 
information, please check our Supported Versions page.
