Using filebeat version 6.6.2. I went through the docs but I just can't figure out **to which version should I update, so that it starts refreshing kubernetes service account tokens**?

'Service account tokens have an expiration of one hour. In earlier Kubernetes versions (prior to 1.21), the tokens didn't have an expiration. This means that clients that rely on these tokens must refresh the tokens within an hour.' ([source](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/service-accounts.html))

Looks like \>0.15.7 of the Go client first appears in [version 7.9](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/7.9/go.mod).
