Is this retro? I’d like to remove any bot traffic prior to activating this feature as well.

Already ingested data won’t be impacted since it’s immutable on the raw level.
This feature will work only on events moving forward.

Is it possible to get the information how much of traffic was removed using that filter?

I don’t think that’s possible in the charts because that blocked data is never ingested in the first place.

Maybe Support Team can query this for you on an adhoc basis if really needed.

Sure. I don’t want to have in the charts.

Maybe an information somewhere near the filter settings saying - after you turned on the filter on XX-XX-XXXX we have filtered XYZ events.
