By default, Segment queries all historical data to set the current value of the computed trait and Audience. Backfill computes historical data up to the point of audience creation. After audience creation, Segment computes traits and audiences in real-time. You can uncheck **Include Historical Data** to compute values for the Audience or trait without historical data. With backfill disabled, the trait or Audience only uses the data that arrives after you create it.

> If your audience includes historical data (Historical Backfill is enabled), editing an audience creates a new backfill task. The backfill task, and therefore the edit task, take longer to process if the audience is connected to a destination with rate limits. Rate-limited destinations dictate how fast Engage can backfill. View a list of [rate-limited destinations](/docs/engage/using-engage-data/#rate-limits-on-engage-event-destinations).
