What does Run Rules Only do?

Short answer: Run Rules Only runs your move rules immediately — relocating matching folders to the fast drive with links left behind — without the cache clean-up that Free Up Space Now also does. Use Dry Run first to preview it.

Run Rules Only runs your move rules right away — relocating the folders your rules match to the fast drive, with a link left in place — without the cache clean-up that Free Up Space Now also does. It's in the menu bar popover's advanced view.

It's useful after you've edited a rule and want it applied now instead of waiting for the scheduled run. Preview first with Dry Run if you're unsure.
