# Why does the VASP electronic step not stop after getting converged?

I have just implemented VASP code with Gamma K-point, POSCAR of 128-atom supercell and INCAR like this:

   ISTART = 2
ISPIN  = 2
ICHARG = 1
MAGMOM = 2*3 27*4 3 2*4 64*0 29*0
ISMEAR = 0
SIGMA  = 0.05
NELMIN = 3
NELM   = 60
EDIFF  = 1E-05
ISIF   = 2
NSW    = 60
IBRION = 3
POTIM  = 0.1
EDIFFG =-E-02


The problem is when the electronic relaxation reaches EDIFF, the electronic step does not stop. I just wonder if there is any other convergence requirement needed to be reached so that the electronic relaxation step stops.

It is not converged, it needs to hit |-1E-5| on the fourth and fifth column. It gets close on the fifth column, but never quite makes it there. The lowest I see is about |-1.7E-5|. It seems to be struggling, if this isn't an optimized structure then you could lower EDIFF to 1E-4 or even 5E-4 for some initial steps...Or simply do not worry about it and continue on regardless, over time you will converge faster with each geometric step.
However, if this is a single point job then you might need to change to ALGO=ALL for more stable convergence or change mixing settings.
