The user from whose PAT a self hosted agent was configured is leaving the organization. Once the users leaves the org, his account would be deleted from Azure AD and hence his PAT would be expired. How should one take over the self hosted agent or update the PAT with other users account?

You do not need to update PAT. Check the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/v2-windows?view=azure-devops
Inside the install directory of the agent (in my case it was C:\agent), you will find some files including
You can reconfigure your agent without uninstalling by running config.cmd editing the values and then run the agent again with run.cmd. You will be prompted to provide the PAT and also the agent pool. You can change only the values that you need.
