If you are not using multiple Logstash to consume data from Azure Evens Hub
Logstash may face Azure Evens Hub Lease Lost, Http 409 error code when Logstash is experiencing backpressure. Lease Lost exceptions can be observer in the debug logs only. Microsoft API intentionally enabled this noise to give better visibility to the clients using the SDK.
Sample logs:

From Logstash point of view, what may cause for the Lease Lost?
When Logstash instance persists the offset into the Blob storage, it acquires the Lease for the blob and then update after processing the batch of events. The batch process may take longer than Lease timeout or lose the handshake when resource usage is high (see the discussion here). When batch process takes longer time is when Logstash face backpressure, waiting for longer time to push into the queue. See the possible approaches section for what you can do.
For the possible cases for the Lease Lost from Azure point of view, see the reference
Possible approaches
First thing first, make sure you have enough Logstash instances to consume the events Azure Events Hub producing.
It depends on the situation what solution would be the best practise for most cases, considering following will be good start:
Decreasing batch size: till this moment, we have successfully seen the people who decreased the batch size, bring enough window Logstash instances to process events faster and handshake well with Blob storage.
PQ: the memory queue is a central synchronous station which workers wait the queue availability. You may isolate the input with filter & output process by PQ, more details
