Sonic 2 shows Sonic having 0 rings and he was able to maintain the Super Form, NO CUTSCENE shows Sonic ever using rings to transform into Super Sonic, the canonical story suggests that all Sonic needs is the chaos emeralds, the fact there is proof that Sonic can transform without rings should automatically suggest he can sustain the form without rings. Plus as a side note Sega has never stated that Sonic officially needed rings to sustain his super form otherwise such logic would be consistent throughout the media like Archie Sonic, Sonic X, and even be mentioned in a cutscene when Sonic transform into Super State or something. You guys says there is no proof that the form can be sustained without rings but there is proof to say that he can as nothing confirms that he can't other than gameplay...but that can't be used without the idea of game mechanic. There's no proof that the rings can even sustain the form. Rings are about as a game mechanic as Mario's coins are. Sonic Team even said themselves that during the story Sonic only needs to the Seven Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic. Rings are game mechanics sometimes they are even collected to unlock or buy stuff in the games.
