It is not that simple: restarting from an interrupted calculation is guaranteed to work only if the previous run was cleanly stopped, that is: using either "max_seconds" or creating a *.EXIT file

Dear Wenusara
Check quantum espresso input file description page for PW.x calculations to restart the calculations where it stopped. If you are impatient then use restart_mode = 'restart' instead of default string 'scratch'.

    Dear QE Users,

    I've been experiencing system shutdowns due to building maintenance,
    which often interrupts long-running SCF calculations. My calculations
    can take several days to complete, making these interruptions quite
    disruptive.

    I'm reaching out to inquire about the possibility of restarting these
    calculations from the point of interruption.
    Could you please suggest appropriate restart commands or procedures to
    pick up where I left off?

    Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

-- Thank You
