changing addtime=false on scheduled summary index - advanced edit has no effect

Hello,

Why does changing addtime=false on scheduled summary index - advanced edit has no effect?

Thank you for your help.

Advanced Edit:

After the scheduled summary index ran on a scheduled time,  the latest search on "view recent"  still showed "addtime=t", instead of "addtime=f"

addtime=false worked if I ran it manually
