Conduction energy increases

In the fig. below the conduction energy increases with increase in the size of the dielectric matrix. The difference in the conduction energy is about 0.3 eV.
In the below input I included up to 100 bands to reach convergence.
If you think converging is achieved please let me know. I decided to go with EXXRLvcs=80 and NGsBlkXp=4.

Dear Hammouri,

once you have understood how to perform convergences, it is really up to you to decide if the accuracy you obtained is satisfactory.

Best,
Daniele

I followed the tutorial step by step and that was what I got!

Dear Hammouri,
sorry but I do not understand what is your question. What you obtain is reasonable.
What I'm saying is that it is up to you to decide the converged parameters considering the accuracy you need and the computational resources available

Best,
Daniele
