The only reason a Dark Energy Flare doesn't consume all of existence is because it's like a fire in a sealed off space. Remove the air (or Dark Energy) and the reaction sputters out. The flare draws in all the dark energy more and more as the energy gets closer and the reaction grows. But eventually it consumes faster than it can pull in, and it gets weaker and weaker as Dark Energy is drawn in less and less until it snuffs out completely
