A error about convergence criteria in ecp calculation


Clicked A Few Times
Hello,
I have a problem about ecp calculation.

For the reaction of H2 and CO2 on Cu surface,I want use ecp module for Cu with a basis set of lanl2dz to calculate dft energy.But my output file give me a error:


This type of error is most commonly associated with calculations not reaching
convergence criteria

And here is my input file:

geometry noautosym noautoz nocenter
Cu                 0.00000000    2.95160200    8.34839300

I would appreciate that if you can give me a hint.
