Do you have any thoughts on this?

You may need more memory for the grid-point batching. Some recent versions of Q-Chem are very memory-greedy in this respect. (The issue is known and is being, or has been, addressed.) Given that your MEM_TOTAL is already very large, try using a smaller DFT grid. The SG-3 grid that you’ve requested feels like significant overkill for the BMK functional anyway, for which the default is SG-2. Note that changing the grid does mean you should re-optimize the geometry.

Thanks John for the update.
