Dear QE users

I am doing relax calculation for copper ferrite. In the ouput file from
starting its giving convergence has been achieved in 176 iterations. but at
the end, it shows
End of self-consistent calculation convergence NOT achieved after 500
iterations: stopping. I didn't get any final enthalpy and coordinates but
at the end, it is showing that Job is done.
What does that mean ? Whether the relax calculation is completed or not?
What can be the issue that at the end it has not converged?
I am attaching the input please have a look.
