[Wien] Energy converged but charge not converging for charged supercell

You always complain that the calculations are not converging, but 
actually, it is not that bad. You have 4 zeros in :dis

Are the forces converging ?

More important: Have you relaxed the structure ? Is the EFG converging 
to an accuracy you need.

As Laurence mentioned before: rkmax=4 is nonsense, 5.5 is a rather crude 
minimal value.
