 * How often the automated deletion takes place?
    Is it possible to somehow check
   and modify it, also with all transients? All the best,

 * G’day ejke,
 * The scheduled task runs once daily, except when network activated on multisite
   networks — then it runs hourly and hits 5 sites per hour by default. You can 
   change the number of sites per hour with the `delxtrans_ms_limit` filter.
 * The scheduled task only deletes expired transients. Deleting non-expired transients
   would normally slow down a website, so it’s something you would only want to 
   do during development or after upgrading software (plugins, theme).
 * Do you have a reason for wanting to vary from the default? If you can explain
   your scenario, maybe we can work something out.
 * cheers,
    Ross
