The first doe not exist, the latter is the threshold for convergence of total force in a relax calculation. If instead of ecut_conv_thr you meant to write etot_conv_thr, than it would have been the threshold for convergence of total energy in a relax calculation (as a function of ions positions). It has not to be confused with conv_thr which is the convergence of scf energy in a single step of a relax calculation.

Please, have a look at the documentation in the Doc/ directory.
