[CP2K-user] Retarting a NEB Calculation

Dear CP2K colleagues,

I have been running a NEB calculation for some days and the job is never 
ending, even though the energy on the TS is not changing that much.
Due to some specifications of the HPC I am using I was running the job just 
for 24h and then restarting it again.

As the calculation kept going all time never ending, I decided to plot the 
energies of the highest point (TS) when I realised that the energy is 
following the same pattern.
Please find attached below the plot. 

In the plot I can see that every time I restart the job there is a high 
pick of energy and then starts to decrease, however when I restart the job 
again it does the same. 

Is the restarting process working differently for the NEB calculations? I 
believed it was as easy as using the restarting file xx-1.restart

Please find attached below also my inputs outputs and restart file. 

Thank you.

Best regards,
Gerard
