Dear Sir_Puding,

there is something strange in the input/output that you sent: in the
input you have ecutwfc=18 and in the output it seems to be 30 ryd. In
old versions of PWSCF you couldn't do systems with odd nelec without a
broadening. I don't know for recent versions, perhaps by default you
have fixed occupations, but, at least for the sake of convergence, it
can be useful to put a broadening and more bands.
