O.k., this is happening ... now. I'm going to explain what's actually going on when data is encrypted, hopefully without mystifying, oh and some of the weird and inconsistent stuff cryptographers come up with.https://twitter.com/colmmacc/status/1100976962846154752 …
PRNGs don't quite become more predictable the more you pull from them. Some of them just straight up cycle after a certain point, so you have to cut-off before the period. But mostly it's about how much data would it take to reverse engineer the initial conditions.

Rule of thumb I’ve heard is sqrt(period). Some CSPRNGs don’t have a closed form computable period though, but I think they usually have provable minimum bounds on period. Been a while.
