Question about fstrim.service which failed once a week

After login motd told me that fstrim.service failed:

● fstrim.service - Discard unused blocks on filesystems from /etc/fstab
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/fstrim.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2020-08-03 00:00:01 UTC; 5 days ago

Fedora CoreOS don’t have a fstab file cause it use systemd mount file. as fstrim.timer said this service will exec once a week.

So why don’t you just disable this timer or is there a reason to keep this timer enable?
