The nightly hunt for negative keywords can indeed negate terms based on a 30-day dataset, provided there is sufficient data within that timeframe. It's worth noting that some lower-volume targets may require additional time for accurate analysis.

What you could do if you are looking to ad negation that is outside the adbadger criteria is pull a search term report, filter the data you're looking for and then manually update it inside the Ad Console.
