How to fix this error?

First establish the new standard usage from among the remaining
usages for the address type, by extending its validity period
correspondingly.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The validity of a standard usage can be restricted if
No other usage for the address type exists in the resulting temporal
gap or
If exactly one other usage exists within this temporal gap.
This then automatically replaces the current standard usage.
