There is a chance you might find it helpful to set maxcyc to 1300 so
that you can get final output, and take a look (visualize) the
structure. Though the energies may look reasonable, looking at the
structure, relative to start structure, could be informative.
Especially look around the atoms that are listed in the output file
often. What is going on near CG atom 4880? H1 atom 6532?

If you strongly suspect the minimization algorithm is essentially
failing, then perhaps setting input for "always use steepest descent"
(ntmin=2) would get you to an coordinate set, from which conjugate
gradient performs better.

I'm not predicting either of the above will be successful :) - but they
are quick things I might "try" to move ahead if I were stuck.
