This is not how the LRNG works, or has ever worked. Think of CSPRNG output as the keystream of a stream cipher, which is what it practically is. Draw 256 bytes of keystream out of a stream cipher, and you have in no meaningful sense depleted that cipher's remaining store of unpredictable keystream bytes. Were it otherwise, no modern cryptography would function.
