Quadruple CO2 in restart file for branch SD-WACCM-X run, fails with "GHP7 NOT CONVERGING" and "CO2 has exceeded the limit"

I'm trying to run a quadruple CO2 simulation in SD-WACCM-X by performing a branch run where I quadruple the CO2 in the lower boundary as well as in the restart file that the run is initializing off of.

To do this, I first performed a run with standard CO2 for one month, then I did a second (branch) run that initialized off of the restart files from that first run, except I multiplied the variable ‘CO2’ from the cam.r restart file by 4, and also multiplied the lower boundary CO2 variable ‘CO2_LBC’ by 4 in the flbc_file. Aside from these changes, the files were not modified.

However, when I try to actually run the simulation, I get the following error: “GHP7 NOT CONVERGING FOR PRESS” and “nlte_fomichev_calc: CO2 has exceeded the limit: nstep,i,k,press(Pa),lon,lat,vco” at many different locations, then the run fails/aborts. The error file is attached.

I have attached my user_nl_cam, env_run.xml files, and the error file. I also attached the python scripts where I created the new versions of the restart and lower boundary files so you can see exactly what I am doing.

The problem must be related to the restart file, because I was able to perform a similar run by only modifying the LBC file and there were no errors.

The run directory is on derecho / glade here: /glade/u/home/bmartinez/f.e21.FXSD.f09_f09_mg17.CO2x4_experiment and here
/glade/derecho/scratch/bmartinez/f.e21.FXSD.f09_f09_mg17.CO2x4_experiment/run

Do you know how I can get around this issue?

I'm not the best person to answer this, but I had a thought:
You said that the model ran without error when you modified only the LBC file. Are you certain that you need to modify the restart? Wouldn't the model use the restart value in the first timestep only?
