- tptacek 11y agoIn the sense you're thinking about, entropy bits do not get "used up". The reason they're continuously refreshed is because something could theoretically happen to your system that compromises your CSPRNG internal state, and if the CSPRNG wasn't rekeyed you'd be permanently compromised.
