The heat flux is the important bit, the regions below the extraction zone will be hotter and continue to push heat into the extraction zone. So it only matters if enough heat flows into the extraction zone to make up for the increased heat being taken out (vs the normal rate).

One of the most developed power plants ran out of steam before it ran out of heat.
