Can anyone explain why the node exporter does not support
timestamps for custom metrics? So what else should I do for
metrics that are not updated as often as the node_exporter is called ?
I share the same question, can anyone else help here?

You can't use timestamps in that case anyway as you'd end up with
duplicate metric errors when scraping.
You just set the metrics via the textfile collector. It doesn't matter
how frequently the node exporter is scraped.
If you want to know the time a certain less frequent process happened
use a gauge where the value is a unix timestamp.
