CUTOFF convergence problem

Dear CP2K users,
I am running my calculations and I have CUTOFF convergence problem - in 
fact I can not see any convergence in the total energy. I know that the 
relative differences in energies are important (not the absolute values of 
energies), therefore I am comparing the energy differences between two 
structures (I am working with zeolites, and my two structures differs in 
the position of hydrogen). Even with very high cutoff values I can not 
observe any convergence of the total energies as well as energy differences.
Do you have any idea where is the problem? I will be thankful for any help!

Here are my data:

CUTOFF [Ry]            Total Energy [a.u.]
