Because it is countered by rechargeRate, which is giving back x amount of energy at the same time.

rechargeRate is another datablock property. When a player is added to the scene it begins to recieve x amount of energy every tick - constantly recharging his energy.

runEnergyDrain is only applied when running.

This is can result in a little to no energy loss, or can quickly deplete energy depending on the various settings.
