DFT+U calculation problems

Dear, all
I did some calculations with DFT+U functional recently, they all obtained
from the CP2K program.
At first, I calculated the geometry optimization of the structre, and
obtained the total energy directly from the last optimized structure (let's
say E1). Then, I ran a single point energy calculation with the same
optimized structure and got the total energy E2.
However, those two total energies (E1 & E2) I collected from the exact same
structure have significant difference, E2-E1 = 1.2 eV.
When checking their output results, I find that the total energy
difference could be attributed to two parts, DFT+U energy and Core
Hamiltonian energy. The input and output files are attached below.
As far as I know, the total energy calculated from the same settings and
structures should be the same. I have no idea about these results. Could
you please help me check what is wrong with my calculation? Any comments
will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Xiaohui
