After Effects Preview Skip Frame Not Working

I want to speed up the process of previewing my composition by skipping 2 frames. However, my composition is bypassing the skip frame settings and is proceeding to make all frames instead of skipping 1 over another. How can I apply my settings? Why are my skip frame settings not working and applying to my composition preview?

Then switch to "spacebar" in that dropdown menu and modify the settings!

You are modifying settings for "Shift + spacebar", do you use that shortcut when previewing?

You have to stop the current preview and then start another one before the changes take place. If the frames have already been cached you may have to make a change to the comp or purge memory and cache.
