It will deduplicate files older than 3 days and it will run depend on your set sechdule.
Take a look at:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/data-deduplication/advanced-settings#modifying-job-schedules-available-settings
This does not mean it will run in three days but it look into files which are older than three days.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out.
After enabling Deduction you do not need do anything as Windows should take care of it.
