Question about DHCP and exclusion ranges

Let's say my DHCP pool is 192.168.0.10 - 192.168.0.20. Let's then say that I put a laptop on the network and it grabs 192.168.0.10 from that pool. Finally, let's say that I then create an exclusion range of 192.168.0.10 - 192.168.0.15.

Will this change have any immediate, detrimental effect on that laptop's network access? Or will it carry on regardless with its .10 address and then, when its lease expires, seamlessly get assigned an address from the now smaller pool of 192.168.0.16 - 192.168.0.20?

My google-fu is entirely failing to find an answer to this one, so I'm hoping someone here can chime in. Thanks in advance!
