Automatic exercise occurs because in-the-money short positions are not necessarily exercised by buyers; it is more likely that positions will be closed and profits taken. So outstanding in-the-money short positions are automatically exercised by the OCC to absorb the disparity between the two sides.

The decision to avoid exercise is made based on current market value as well as the time remaining until expiration. Many option sellers spend a great deal of time and effort avoiding exercise and trying to also avoid taking losses in open option positions. A skilled options trader can achieve this by exchanging one option for another, and by timing actions to maximize deteriorating time value while still avoiding exercise. As long as options remain out of the money, there is no practical risk of exercise. But once that option goes in the money, sellers have to decide whether to risk exercise with an offsetting transaction.
