How Long are Databricks runtimes supported for? How often are they updated?

You can learn more about the Databricks runtime support lifecycle here (AWS | Azure | GCP).

Long Term Support (LTS) runtimes are released every 6 months and supported for 2 years.

Let us know if you have any additional questions on this in the comments!

can you tell me what is the most stable version because I am working in databricks since 3 year but every runtime version have different different compatibility issues

DBR 10.3​ is the most stable as of now.

DBR 11.3 is the latest LTS runtime. All LTS runtimes would be considered stable. Each runtime corresponds with a specific version of Spark, Python, Java, library versions etc. I would suggest looking at the runtime release notes to understand what version of these dependencies are included for compatibility purposes: https://docs.databricks.com/release-notes/runtime/11.3.html
