I would trim manually weekly if Windows doesn't do it automatically. As for defragging the SSD Windows will partially defrag it if needed.
"
2 – Does Windows 10 / 11 Defrag SSD’s Automatically?
Mostly no. Windows 10 and Windows 11 still have a defragment utility built in but it is now smart enough to flag SSD’s and disable defrag.
However, once a month Windows automatically considers partially defragmenting an SSD if there is exceptional fragmentation that is approaching the ‘maximum fragmentation threshold’. After that threshold is reached the “meta data” for the file fragments exceeds what the SSD can handle causing the SSD to stop reading and writing. This is a bad thing so Microsoft will carefully defrag the rare potentially problematic files."

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Scheduled optimization, then, almost always retrims and, on rare occasion, partially defragments, if I understood your message properly. When I manually run Optimization, my machine literally says "Retrimming."
