Resolution

Use # to comment the RetainDays and MaxRetainedRows properties per your requirement.

When you comment RetainDays, you can trim the data by number of the rows

When you comment MaxRetainedRows, You can trim the data by number of days (RetainDays).

When you do not comment RetainDays and MaxRetainedRows, DB trim triggers when the first condition of the two properties is met.

RetainDays = 150 

MaxRetainedRows = 7500000000
