diacetyls after bottling?

so i let my diacetyls work themselves out for the most part but as i wanted to get my latest batch bottled today i let some diacetyl flavor slide. i was wondering if this will be worked out of the brew by bottle conditioning? can the conditioning process be considered a diacetyl rest?

 

Diacetyl rest is when you let your beer, usually a lager rise in temperature during the last 1/3 of the fermentation process and is usually done after racking from the primary to the secondary which means you have to be taking readings to know when it's ready to transfer and when to raise the temperature.......as far as doing it in the bottle.....it's going to be hard to get rid of something that's got nowhere to go

Not sure if you really get enough late fermentation with the priming sugar fpr the yeast to clean that up.
Doesn't really matter now though, just let it condition and see what happens.  A small amount of diacetyl is OK in some beers depending on the style.
