How do you ask a recruiter to extend an offer expiration time? What do you do if they say no? Will they pull the offer because they think you aren’t committed?

I have asked for extensions multiple times and have always been able to get one.

At the point that recruiters have given you an offer, they have invested a lot in bringing you through their process and in deciding you are the best candidate. They don't want to just drop you.

I always try to provide a reason and rationale to justify the extension you are asking for. A good one that is common is "I am supposed to hear back from another company on X date. I am already leaning toward accepting this offer, but would like to have all the info on the table first so that when I decide I won't have any doubts that this is the right fit for me."

They might not be able/willing to extend as much as you would like and if you're waiting on another offer, there's no guarantee they'll get back to you on time, so best to overshoot a little on what you ask for as an extension and let any other companies know that you already have an offer and have asked for an extension in order to entertain their offer. That will often help them accelerate and ensure their offer is competitive, which you can use to negotiate.

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.
