Why Cloudflare rule order matters? (https://www.brzozowski.io)

Interesting, I never really knew setting Action to "Managed challenge" would be equivalent to skipping all the remaining rules and this is coming from someone who is managing multiple Enterprise Cloudflare accounts for the past couple of years. Thanks.

> Above statement is not true, as the rule will never be evaluated after “Force bot detection” rule.

Actually what you are saying is not true because the rule is evaluated after your previous rule just like it says, only as long as it was not a terminating action which is documented. Just because you created two conflicting rules in the incorrect order does not mean that their UI text is incorrect or lying to you.
