Fix #41355, where event data in the memory queue was not being freed when event batches were acknowledged, but only gradually as the queue buffer was overwritten by later events. This gave the same effect as if all beat instances, even low-volume ones, were running with a full / saturated event queue.
The root cause, found by @swiatekm, is this PR, an unrelated cleanup of old code that accidentally included one live call along with the deprecated ones. (There was an old
FreeEntries
hook in pipeline batches that was only used for deprecated shipper configs, but the cleanup also removed theFreeEntries
call inside the queue which was essential for releasing event memory.)Checklist
