If --suppress-timestamps use is aimed at systemd then perhaps options --log
and --log-append, which both ultimately bypass systemd-journald, are in use
then they could reset the --suppress-timestamps flag on use.

If --suppress-timestamps is used after all --log* options then it would be in
effect, like other options, whereby "last option wins!".
