Answer:
John 12:49-50 I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me gave me his own instructions as to what I should say. 50 And I know his instructions lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say!”
John 8:26 I have much to say about you and much to condemn, but I won’t. For I say only what I have heard from the one who sent me, and he is true.”
Mark 13:32 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.

No one (Knows) the word (knows) is a verb!
A verb is a part of speech that describes any action whatsoever. There are three kinds of verbs: action, helping, and linking verbs. Action verbs are very basic – they are any activity you or I can do, like eat, sleep, read. Quite often they have suffixes attached to the end to express the verb tense (past, present, or future), such as ”-ed” or ”-ing” (eating, sleeping, jogging).
Here the word (knows) is past tense, which means he was not told to say the day or time of his second coming!

But of that day and that hour [that is, the precise time], knoweth no man, [oudeis, literally ‘no one,’] no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. This very remarkable statement regarding “the Son” Whether it means that the Son was not at that time in possession of the knowledge referred to, or simply that it was not among the things which He had received to communicate-has been matter of much controversy.
Beyond all doubt, as the word “knoweth” [oiden] in this verse is the well-known word for the knowledge of any fact, our Lord did not at that time communicate how the day and hour of His own Second Coming will be.
Jesus was one, who, from the time when He entered on His public ministry, spoke, acted, as one from whom nothing was hidden;
Jesus was giving the instructions of explaining the Kingdom of God from beginning to end; there is nothing really special about knowing the time of his second coming. It wasn’t necessary to tell the disciples about the exact day or hour of Jesus second coming, and it wouldn’t affect Jesus not saying the time of his second coming.
To answer your question it could be that the Jesus was not at that time in possession of the knowledge of his second coming because he was in human form, or simply that it was not among the things which He had received from the father to communicate to the disciples.
I believe in the trinity (father, Son, Holy Spirit) that Jesus is 100% God knowing everything (omniscience), and at the time of his ministry were 100% human, knowing everything God father knows, and knowing all our weaknesses in human body. Here in this scripture Mark 13:32 I believe Jesus is saying (I was not told by my father to tell you the day or hour of my second coming).
Phil 2:6-7 6
Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, 7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.
