Relative timestamp in embed footer

I want to put a relative timestamp in an embed footer. setTimestamp() doesn't accept strings, so I cannot pass the relative timestamp as an argument. When I use the relative timestamp in setFooter() like this

.setFooter({
        text: `Last Update: ${relativeTime}`,
      })

.setFooter({
        text: `Last Update: ${relativeTime}`,
      })

I get this

Last Update: <t:1714575200:R>

Last Update: <t:1714575200:R>

I know it would work if the timestamp was in a description or a field value, I just want to put it in the footer so it can look a little better. Is it possible to achieve this?

What's your exact discord.js

npm list discord.js

npm list discord.js

and node

node -v

node -v

version?

setTimestamp displays the current time yes, but it doesn't display a dynamic timestamp, a relative timestamp does that.

Okay, that's what I was wondering. Thank you!
