On top of this:

1) Did you relax your system with pw.x (calculation='relax')? In order to have meaningful frequencies and smooth convergence with DFPT you should stay very close to the energy minimum.

2) ecutwfc = 60.0

It might be too low for your norm-conserving B pseudopotential. Have you tested the convergence of pw.x results wrt the basis set?

3) ecutrho = 600,

It is useless with NC PPs. The code should automatically assign ecutrho=4*ecutwfc. Check it in the pw.x output.

Quoting Christoph Wolf <wolf.christoph@qns.science>:

At first glance your system is 2-dimensional but you sample out-of plane
for ph.in (q3=3).

try an appropriate q-mesh such as 3x3x1, 5x5x1, ... You can see that the
convergence problem occurs at a q-point that is out of plane:

                  q = (   0.0000000   0.0000000   0.1059000 )
