If I use the pdos however, I lose quite a margin: 59.86/60 , which is quite significant.

yes

According to the archives, the spilling factor should give an indication of the difference, which is: 0.0021 for me, but I don’t understand how that number represents what I see in the integrated DOS. It seems to be also fairly small for my calculation.

it's a percentage: 0.0021=0.21% of electrons lost. 0.0021*60=0.126, quite close to the missing charge you get

Paolo

Are there any „tricks“ to decrease this discrepancy?

Thank you and all the best,
