The key compoonents are the timing of the cancellation - when it happened - then what wsa offered. So in your case, less than 7 days notice and a rebooking outside the permitted window. The Regulation doesn't require you to accept this offer, hence not travelling is OK for compensation, merely that BA's best alternative causes you disruption. Since you had, and would have had, an unchanged arrival time, then BA would cut the payment by 50%.
