We are getting the below error frequently

Assume that I am running 5 test cases, a couple of test cases are running properly and other test cases are failing due to below error

unknown error: WebDriverError: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: 'POST /element' cannot be proxied to UiAutomator2 server because the instrumentation process is not running (probably crashed

using the latest version "appium-uiautomator2-driver": "^3.9.0",

I've ran into this too from time to time with the latest driver as well. I'm thinking of downgrading if it occurs too often
