Hi @iamfabiomilano - is that a pull request build? PR builds behave differently, there you have to add the skip ci keywords to the title or description:

> This means that, if you want to skip a pull request, you have to include the Skip CI pattern in the Pull Request’s title or description, and not in the commit’s message!

> **[Skipping a given commit or pull request](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/en/builds/starting-builds/skipping-a-given-commit-or-pull-request.html)**
>
> Depending on your settings, every code change in your repository can trigger Bitrise builds. However, if you need to, you can skip a specific commit or pull request.
