I am not sure I understand why we have monday_before_trigger and monday_trigger, but then do monday_trigger + timedelta(seconds=1). Couldn't we just have monday_trigger?

By the way, we could use the @pytest.mark.freeze_time("2023-01-02 05:00:00") decorator, and then just use now + timedeltas instead of now().replace() like tuesday_trigger = now + timedelta(days=1).

I think that would make the tests easier to read, but I am fine with either approache.
