Darth Nihilus drained the entire jedi council of their force energy and it just made him feel better. The more energy he drained, the more he healed. Him being a wound in the force was completely unrelated to him being a force user, but by a massive planet wiping raw force bomb.
Darth Sion was a literal zombie held together by hate and the force. He would slowly drain force energy away from planets to contain this. The process of his body slowly failing and his soul begging for release was painful but it wasn't because of the amount of energy required to live.
Darth Sidious was eventually strong enough, as a clone, to cast force lightening storms severala planets away. Force lightening is one of the most draining abilities but multiply that a hundred fold, I don't recall it saying if he was even tired afterward.
Darth Raven I'm a little understudied for but he was able to use the force alone to telepathically controll two lightsabers alongside using his own in battle. He was skilled enough to see visions of the future, I don't think there are stats for this but it sounds pretty advanced. The rebels I believe he was actually bound by the force to be immortal, I don't remember if he even had experienced pain from this, he was just tired of living.
Darth Vader was the chosen one, and was able to use the force alone to restrain two near literal force gods into submission, he wasn't painer but just tired for a few seconds. He could lift and crush an AT-AT in battle with no effort.
Kylo Ren, just to prove a point, tracked down and killed a creature that by some culture was thought to be either an actual god or a son of god. It rivaled the sarlacc pit in size, granted he didn't use a massive show of force but he still used enough to kill it. Afterwards he just walked away pissed it wasn't stronger.
I'm not sure where you got the sudden death thing of using the force, I have literally never heard of that.
