I think some distros have a systemd service that does it weekly or monthly which is usually enough but in rare cases it’s not, just know that if you suddenly get out of space errors on BTRFS but you’re not actually out of space that’s probably the issue

When the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligns with Mars,
then peace will guide the planets, and love will steer the stars.
