geometry optimization slow rms convergance

Dear all,

I'm trying to optimize indigo substituent with B3LYP in the level of 6-311G(d,p). To speed up the convergence I used these parameters:
$contrl INTTYP=HONDO ICUT=12 ITOL=30 $end
$SCF DIRSCF=.T. FDIFF=.FALSE. DIIS=.T. SOSCF=.F. $END
$STATPT OptTol=0.001 NStep=200 DXMAX=1 HSSEND=.TRUE. $END

The main problem is RMS is decreasing to 0.01 in few steps but it doesn't converge more overall for 30-40 or sometimes to 100 steps. You can check input and output file generated so far.

I will use the geometry for the TD-DFT calculations, is this high amount of optimization steps are normal for gaussian.

Best Regards,
