Bot Fight Mode for Definite Bot Managed Challenge has more than 400. I am worried that I have blocked useful traffic. Can anyone confirm that this traffic is safe? How can I distinguish it?
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

23.98.92.87 is not a Bing Bot so should be blocked, also states “Empty user agent”
Bing has a tool to verify BingBots if you are in doubt but anything with no user agent should be flagged as suspicious anyway - the rule looks to be working as expected
You can see the reason each of the IPs has been blocked and only you can decide what is useful traffic for your site
If you have only had 400 attack attempts from AS8075 fake bots then thats a low level of attack traffic from them
