[🐛 Bug]: [Inconsistent] Error at node: No slot matched the requested capabilities

What happened?

We are running on a Selenium4 grid hub-node configuration then we are getting this error and it’s Inconsistent ‘No slot matched the requested capabilities’ not always this is happening, when we restart the hub-node then 3 or 4 tests works then 5th test case fails with this error at the node level and not sure what’s causing this issue and even we are trying to analyze if this could be our remote 2016/2019 servers that are causing this issue.

Note: At this point of time we are trying to upgrade the selenium 4.2.2 version but other open issues here are causing much bigger issues. So for us, the stable version is 3.141.59 and IE Edge mode with the below code is working

How can we reproduce the issue?

any basic tests to find an element or enter a value with the below IE Edge mode: capability

Setup @BeforeMethod at :
			InternetExplorerOptions ieOptions = new InternetExplorerOptions();
			Map<String, Object> ops = (Map<String, Object>) 
                        ieOptions.getCapability("se:ieOptions");
			ops.put("ie.edgechromium", true);
			ops.put("ie.edgepath", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe");
			ieOptions.introduceFlakinessByIgnoringSecurityDomains();
			ieOptions.ignoreZoomSettings();
			ieOptions.enablePersistentHovering();
			ieOptions.requireWindowFocus();
			ieOptions.destructivelyEnsureCleanSession();
			ieOptions.withAttachTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(60));
			ieOptions.setCapability("implicit", "5000");
			ieOptions.setCapability("pageLoad", "60000");
			capability.merge(ieOptions);
		driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX:4444), capability);
		driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(600L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
		driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
		session = ((RemoteWebDriver)driver).getSessionId();
