convergence issue of vasp6

Dear developers,

I notice that with the exact same four input files, vasp 5.4.4 and vasp 6.3.0 show completely different convergence behaviors. Specifically, vasp5.4.4 has a very good electronic convergence of each ionic step in a relaxation run. Whereas, the electronic step of vasp6.3.0 never converges. Attached are the testing inputs. Could you please help look into this?

Many thanks!

Hello,

The robustness of the RMM algorithm has been improved from 5.4.4 to 6.3.0.
Unfortunately, you are studying a system that is negatively impacted by these changes.
I recommend to switch to the Davidson algorithm ALGO=Normal,
This might be even more efficient since Davidson requires roughly half that many electronic steps than RMM (of version 5.4.4) as shown below.
