the energy jump in the Pt-single H2O system under the run_type of GEO_OPT

I am testing the system of Pt(111)-single H2O with supercell of 6 x 6, and 
the thickness is 5 layers, vacuum is 15 A, while I found this system can 
not be converged smoothly, some energy jumps appear in this process, like i 
= 61-62, corresponding to the whole Pt atoms oscillating in the XY plane, 
which has caused apparent absorption energy deviation from real value, I 
guess maybe my supercell is still not large enough for this test or some 
parameters in my input are not well-optimised. I have uploaded the 
structure file and attached the energy data and input below.  Does anyone 
know the reason for this strange phenomenon?
