Mqtt connection lost. java.io.EOFException: null - azure-iot-hub

Question

Context
OS and version used: Windows 10
Java runtime used: 17
Azure IotHub SDK version used: v1/v2
Description of the issue
I have met this issue with Azure IotHub SDK v1 about 1-2 months ago. It happened suddenly, I discovered this error in my automatic tests and there weren't any changes in libraries versions. Saying more, switching to SDK v2 gives the same errors.
Despite this error with connection, DeviceTwin works, but DirectMethod has stopped working.
In summary: DirectMethod doesn't work anymore, independently of SDK versions
Code sample exhibiting the issue
Taking the examples of DirectMethod from official repo:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-java/blob/main/device/iot-device-samples
https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-java/blob/main/service/iot-service-samples
Console log of the issue
From service:

Solution:
In my case the problem was in version of Azure SDK iot-service-client
I was using 2.1.2, after switch to 2.1.4 it has started to work.
