With the suggested index, the query will only be able to use the service_name part since that has a range condition (service_name LIKE 'm_%'). (Also, it will not be covering since there are other columns in the select list.)

Upper() is not only redundant, it will prevent the use of index for this condition.

Hence, an index on (status, service_name) or e.g., (circle, status, service_name) if upper() is removed, should work better.
