You cannot add the new partition as the values it will contain are already covered by an old one. The only thong you can do is to split the old one at the new value.

And maybe your partition schema in not the good one. I think of something like partition by date subpartition by class (range+list) Or if you want to keep one level adding a ('class',maxvalue) partition for each class that you can split each month avoiding to get some dialup info in phone class...
