Acts 1:7 reads;
Jesus said; "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only." (Matt.24:36)
We see from this, that at the point at which Jesus said these things, no one but the Father possessed the knowledge of when the end would come (Acts 1:6-7). Regarding the time of the end, we are told at Dan.12:4,8-10 that there would be secrets of prophecy that would be sealed up *until the time of the end.
Rev.22:10 confirms that there is information that is due to open up in the time of the end, as that scroll's pictorial prophecies that describe the end, are fulfilled. When they are "about to take place", the secrets of the end are opened, so that the timing of them is no longer a secret (Rev.1:1). Jesus sends his messenger angel, a prophet, to tell those things (Rev.22:6) when they become known to him.
How does that messenger, know that it is the time of the end, and the time for Revelation to be fulfilled? How does that messenger know what to declare? How does that messenger know what the book of Revelation, means?
Rev.1:1 tells us, that it is Jesus who sends that messenger, to describe the events of the end "soon to take place". Obviously at that point, Jesus knows the time of the end.
How do we know, that the time arrives for the knowledge of times and seasons, only previously possessed by the Father, to be given to Jesus?
At John17:10, Jesus said of the Father; "All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me."
John16:15 - "All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you. 12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and **he will tell you what is yet to come**. 14 He will glorify me because **it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.**"
(Rev.1:1) (Mal.3:1-4; Zech.2:10-12,9; Eze.33:33; John17:23; Zech.4:8-9,13-14,11; Rev.11:3-4)

At John16:15, Jesus tells us that what the Father possesses, is given to the son, and the son in turn, shares that Word, with his messenger/angel (John15:15), who relays it to John, and the "seven congregations" (John17:8; Rev.1:1,10-11).

Note the scene described at Dan.7:
"9 “As I looked,
“thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat.
His clothing was as white as snow;
the hair of his head was white like wool.
His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire was flowing,
coming out from before him.
Thousands upon thousands attended him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The court was seated,
***and the books were opened.***
13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence."
Rev.5:
"1 Then I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne, a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. [Acts1:7; John16:12] 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne."

Jesus receives knowledge from the Father after his death (Rev.5:9), and is given permission to open what was previously sealed. After Jesus gains that knowledge, he sends his messenger to relay it to his congregation (John15:15; Rev.1:1; 22:16; Mal.3:1-3).
Rev.20: "11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, ***and books were opened*** [Dan.7:10]. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books." (https://pearl-newscrolls.blogspot.com)
Rev.22: "6 The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place. 10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near."

Yes, knowledge of times and seasons rests with the Father. He shares it with his son, and his son, shares it with his faithful Body members by means of his messenger prophet... when it is the time to do so.... in the time of the end.
"Jesus said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority."
Jesus said; "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only." (Matt.24:36)
We see from this, that at the point at which Jesus said these things, no one but the Father possessed the knowledge of when the end would come (Acts 1:6-7).
