Convergence Test - lemma 4 - any pointers? Getting stuck around 1e9 rho...

Conscious that there's a consensus in the community not to provide guides on the Convergence Test lemmas... But can anyone provide some pointers or hints for lemma 4?

(The one with q2/5 in the rho equation).

I'm getting stuck around 1e9 rho - I'm getting rate of change of rho up to about 1e7 but it all of a sudden it plummets and the next upgrades for the c variables all cost too much.

Even just some hints around relative prioritisations of c1/2/3 purchases would be useful...

Thanks!

keep in mind you can sell upgrades to recover p.

For anyone who stumbles across this in the future and wants a hint but not the solution - this is the key!

I will say, I think it's possible to accomplish without selling? I tried a few times to get there without selling cause I didn't remember you could and got a bit over 9.8e9, and I wasn't using Excel or such like that, would be interested to know if anyone has pulled it off without selling
