The problem is you're not using the action hook at all in the proper way. You'll want to create date_query parameters and add this to the comment query.

Here is what you can do to achieve this so that only comments created before "right now" are queried:

add_action( 'pre_get_comments', function ( $commentQuery ) {
    $commentQuery->query_vars[ 'date_query' ] = [
        [
            'before' => current_time( 'mysql' ),
        ],
    ];
} );
