@metal-brain saidNo. "State law does not require an automatic recount of votes. However, a candidate can request a recount if the difference between the number of votes is not more than 1%. That request has to be made within two business days of the results being certified." https://georgia.gov/election-recount-rules-georgia#:~:text=State%20law%20does%20not%20require,of%20the%20results%20being%20certified.
Does Georgia have a law mandating a recount in an election that close?
That being said, they'll probably be a recount in Georgia and Wisconsin, the latter where Trump trails by over 20,000 votes. There is a near zero chance any recount is going to change such results. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/could-recount-flip-key-battleground-history-says-don-t-count-n1246596

@earl-of-trumps saidThe results of the 2016 recounts:
2016 Jill Stein asked for a recount in Michigan - that's all I can think of
Wisconsin: "Clinton increased her vote total in the state by 713 votes, while Trump increased his by 844, widening his lead by 131 votes over the original November 8 count and reaffirming his victory there. Wisconsin Elections Commission Chairman Mark Thomsen stated that the recount had uncovered no evidence that any of the state's voting machines had been hacked or otherwise tampered with."
Nevada: "The Nevada partial recount was completed on December 8. It resulted in no change in the number of votes cast for De La Fuente, but Clinton lost 9 votes and Trump lost 6 due to absentee ballot errors. The recount involved 93,840 ballots in total."
Lawsuits seeking recounts in several other States were unsuccessful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election_recounts

@metal-brain saidYes zero based on history the most a vote tally has changed numbers is in the hundreds at most.

A recount of 20,000 lead is political posturing rather than a genuine attempt to change a result.
