filebeat:Frequently occurring "should have been dropped, but couldn't as state is not finished"

Hello. If you know how fix that, lend me your wisdom.

I use filebeat to transfer logs to Logstash to Opensearch.
When I checked the filebeat log, I found that the same log file transfer errors were occurring frequently.

I counldn't know the cause, so I tried to reproduce it in the verification environment, but it didn't succeed.

I would like to know if there is a way to improve it.
I've considered restarting the filebeat process, but I'd like to be careful when doing so in the production environment.
So, I would like to know how a way except restarting the proces.

Varsion:
Filebeat 7.10.0
