The method of calculation is just that but, as I see things, it would
happen the other way around:

After this dive Subsurface would show you that your oxygen SAC is 2,5
l/min (50 bar of a 3 l cylinder used on an hour dive). So on your next
planning you should use 2,5 l/min for oxygen and not the usual 1
l/min.
