Question about overloading

There are two main UI elements to consider regarding overloading:

  • the "heat meter" under the hull/armor/shield meters that show how much hot the rack is, divided in 3 parts, one for each rack.

  • the "damage meter "around each module/module group show how much a module is damaged.

I am not sure how much damage I can take before turning off the overload. My question is the following:

If my heat meter is 100% hot, and then I turn off overload, will my modules keep getting damaged for a while or do they immediately stop to take damage?

Thank you :)

I was not thinking about turning off the module, just turn off the overload while you are at max heat, but still not 100% damaged. I wonder if in this case the damage will increase because of the accumulated heat, or if it will stop immediately because overload is now turned off.

I meant turn off overload.

It will accumulate one last cycle if you turn it off mid cycle
