Why does a SSD drive maintain data when powered off??

Is it a trickle voltage charged capacitor?? If so that still needs electrical power. How long will the data last?? A decade?? Longer??

No trickle current needed. I have read that they need to be powered on at least once a year to refresh the cells. Maybe that’s changed.
