I'm not really sure why this has started happening but running carthage bootstrap now causes errors saying "GitHub API request failed: Maximum number of login attempts exceeded. Please try again later.". This seems to only happen on TravisCI, see one of the failing builds here: https://travis-ci.org/pusher/pusher-websocket-swift/jobs/120027278

Adding a GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN env variable seems to have done the job. See here: https://travis-ci.org/pusher/pusher-websocket-swift/jobs/120574100

Thanks!

I'm not sure. Carthage doesn't hit a login endpoint. It just uses the credentials from git, if available, and tries to download releases. :confused:

I think this is due to rate limiting, even though the error message suggests otherwise. If you set a GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable (I'd use a secure one) does it work?
