    Sub-optimal termination is printed when the barrier algorithm does not make any (or only very small) progress in the solution value and cannot decrease the dual residual, meaning that although the final convergence criterion is met, the dual infeasibility cannot be reduced. It then terminates at some point and returns the last most feasible iterate, which is declared as sub-optimal. This is often the case for numerically questionable models. 

    You can try to overcome this issue by either reformulating your problem and/or experimenting with the following parameters; this may however result in a performance loss:

    You should also try upgrading to Gurobi v11.
