    I think this bad convergence comes from mixing_restart=10, which is a very bad initial guess.
    I believe this issue can be solved after PR #3681 by setting mixing_restart = 1e-3.

    Since we cannot get the data (don't believe any link beyond github that can save the data in a considerable amount of time), I will transfer this issue to discussion
