Numeric State Triggers / Burden on Performance

I’m creating an automation to alert me if my battery powered devices are running low on battery. I’ll be setting my threshold high, and the battery drain shouldn’t be fast, so quickness of automation triggering is not very important.

Is there any discernible difference on performance or other persuasive reasons to have this automation simply check the battery state at a given time once a day, as opposed to having it trigger on the battery state dropping below a certain value?

Either approach is fine and will not add too much overhead. Although for battery checks, I prefer the numeric_state
