Dear developers,

However, after I comment out 'exclude_bands' in the INCAR, the calculation can run well.
I believe this error should be related to the "exclude_bands".

Hope you can fix this bug soon.

You can find all the test files in the attachment.

Best,
Ruiqi

Dear Ruiqi,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This was incorrectly marked as solved in version 6.3.0, while in fact it was solved in version 6.4.0. We will correct this on the webpage.

I have tested your files with version 6.4 with the "exclude_bands" flag and was able to finish the run.

If possible, please upgrade to version 6.4.

Kind regards,
Pedro Melo
