An easy fix would be to switch to r2SCAN (acs.jpclett.0c02405) instead: &XC &XC_FUNCTIONAL &MGGA_X_R2SCAN &END &MGGA_C_R2SCAN &END &END &END XC Typically, the cutoff should be converged at 1200Ry with SCAN.

I need an energy convergence of 10**-6 Ha or lower. However, I find that even at a cutoff of 4000Ry (REL_CUTOFF:60), energy convergence is only 10**-4 Ha.
