Let's see what you obtain. I do not see anything wrong with this approach.

I have submitted another calculation with ibrav= -12 and cell_dofree = 'ibrav'. If it works, I can use vc-relax with ibrav= -12 and cell_dofree= 'ibrav' to calculate the Hubbard U parameter. Do you think this will be the right approach?

However, I do not get it despite using any Hubbard U. Maybe you can try to impose the monoclinic symmetry (ibrav = 12 or -12), apply +U, and use cell_dofree = "ibrav" during the vc-relax calculation.

I followed them and ran some tests. It works with U prediction. However, with CoPS3, I wonder whether even Hubbard's inclusion is working. So there is some change. Is it not what you expect? Problem: Without Hubbard U inclusion lattice parameter comes {a ≠ sqrt(3)*b}, but with the inclusion of U, it should be corrected to more like {a = sqrt(3)*b}. According to the literature. The output structure does not hold the monoclinic symmetry; Hubbard U should help it achieve that. However, I do not get it despite using any Hubbard U. I also ran calculations with higher convergence criteria but ended up with similar lattice parameters. I am now running a calculation with ibrav= -12, but I am wondering if it is the right approach in this system.

CoPS3 results in off-lattice parameters without Hubbard U. I checked it with VASP, and it seems realistic. However, in QE, the Hubbard U parameter has no effect on the lattice parameter. It remains off with or without U. I can see the Hubbard effect in forces in the output file, but it does not reflect on the lattice parameter in QE output. I want to predict the self-consistent Hubbard parameter using HP code. It does not make sense if I do not get the inclusion of the U parameter right in the first place. I used QE versions 6.4.1, 6.7, and 7.0 and various convergence strategies, but the structure remains the same. Could anyone please suggest anything wrong with the calculation?
