From the error message this looks related to Saucelabs and maybe the Appium driver ("An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command"). Serenity is just reporting the error. Have you asked the Saucelabs folks what the cause might be?

[kanojiyanviod]

Thanks for your help.

Can you please share the Serenity property file for connecting RDC sauce lab.

I think if we have proper serenity property file for RDC connection I can investigate more on this and can fix it.
