Only in the 24 hours after the initial booking (so rebooking won't restart that clock). When you accepted the rebook then you would also have had the option for a refund so it seems this was a double fault unfortunately. You may be able to cancel a redemption for the usual fee, to recover the Avios, but BA would have paid for a revenue bucket so that complicates matters.
