Are updated Bot Rules applied restrospectively?

If I add new IP addresses to my Bot Rules and re-import, do the changes get applied retrospectively or does Adobe just block suspected bot traffic from the newly added IP addresses going forward?

no, bot rules are not working retroactively.

For what it's worth, here's a documentation that covers the processing order in Adobe Analytics
