Reduce flow rate when specified max pressure reached at inlet

Dear All,
I would like to have reductions of flow rate whenever specified max pressure reached over time. At inlet boundary, the flow rate starts with 0.25 [gal/min]. Afterwards, the inlet pressure builds up over time. Whenever a specified inlet max pressure is reached (say 340 [Pa]), the inlet flow rate must be reduced (slightly below 0.25[gal/min], say 0.24 [gal/min]). Again, if the inlet pressure reaches the specified inlet max pressure (340 [Pa]), the flow rate must be reduced once again (slightly below 0.24[gal/min], say 0.23[gal/min]). Therefore, the operation continuously goes again and again like this reduction of flow rate.
I thought COMSOL will handle my simple expression, but unfortunately not. I wrote at fully developed flow rate inlet boundary condition as; if(maxop1(p)<=340[Pa], q_in, q_in==q_in-0.01)
where; q_in is 0.25[gal/min]. maxop1(p) is the maximum pressure reading at the inlet boundary.
I hope my problem is clear. Any further inquiry, I will respond. I appreciate your time reading and responding my message, thanks.
