There are two issues: (1) growth rate isn't constant, it peaked 60 years ago (2) resources are not "fixed" when technology is taken into account, which is why estimating peak oil has been so difficult.

Energy Return on Investment (EROI) is a ratio used to measure the amount of usable energy that can be extracted from a particular energy source compared to the amount of energy required to extract, process, and distribute that energy source. https://jpt.spe.org/plummeting-energy-return-on-investment-of-oil-and-the-impact-on-global-energy-landscape https://jpt.spe.org/plummeting-energy-return-on-investment-o...
