Engine derates, thrust lever range

Greetings to all

I have another question, maybe answer is obvious, but jus t want to make sure.

Assume you have for example 200 kN engine, full rate. In this case, with thrust lever in full aft position you have 0 kN thrust and in full forward position you have 200 kN thrust, to be simple.

Now you derate the engine so the new max thrust is for example 180 kN. In this case, do you also have the new max 180 kN thrust with TL in full forward position OR 180 kN TL position is somewhere in between full aft and full forward and you have to pay attention to not overboost the engine?

Thanks for enlightening it for me
