That was before he became the Winter Knight by an entirely new deal.
Being the Winter Knight isn't paying off the old debt, he swore himself to lifetime service in exchange for power.

And yet, what Dina said is true. Mab said that when three favors are fulfilled, he will be free of faerie influence. That was at their first meeting in Harry's office. When on the battlefield in SK, Mab offered the deal of being the WKnight and erasing all favors owed. When he didn't take the deal, it was taken off the table.
Yes, Mab doesn't have to ask for favors anymore with Harry being her Knight. But, if say he unknowingly does her a favor, it would free him of any faerie influence, as she said back in SK, and the WKnight mantle is a faerie influence. So her rule was set first, and her being fae and the Queen, it should supersede Harry's vow.

But she is tricky, you might say she did Harry a favor by making him her Knight. If she had turned him down he'd of stayed crippled, then he couldn't saved Maggie, and then he'd be dead as part of the Red King's spell. She might look at it that way as well.

I mean I don't think that when Mab said he'd be "Free of Faerie influence" she was actually counting future bargains that he hadn't made yet, but just the debt to he owed to Lea already.
Any future Bargains would be on their own terms. Like, if someone owes you $20 and you say "You pay for lunch next time and we're square", and then they borrow another $5000 for a car lone 6 years down the track, they can't just finally buy you that Pizza and be like "So, we're good on that 5k right?"
Dina:
But faeries are different, their deals are stricter and by the letter.
