I just encountered this for the first time - which is kind of surprising!
Apparently, composer uses the GitHub API and there is a limit on the number of API requests from a particular IP or user. On Travis-CI, there are tons of projects using composer at the same time this will randomly occur.
According to this issue, adding --no-interaction to the composer command will stop it from using the GitHub API:

Needs to be tested!

Comment #1
dsnopekAdded the --no-interaction argument. Let's hope this works! No way to test except to see if it comes up again.
Comment #3
dsnopekIt looks like I re-introduced this issue by fixing: #2195445: Install Drush on Travis-CI via 'composer' rather than 'pear'
Now that we're using composer in a different place, I have to put the fix there too!
Comment #4
dsnopekTried --no-interaction and it appears to not have worked:

Back to the drawing board!
Comment #5
Ari Gold commentedHave you tried --prefer-source ? Before trying it my builds stopped with "Errored"
With --prefer-source it seems to not use Github API and does not show "Errored" but then behat exits with status 255. Even though all behat tests pass the build "Fails"

Comment #6
lsolesen commentedI just successfully used --prefer-source without the 255 exit status on Behat - and since I introduced it there is no Github Errored messages anymore (which was very frequent before).
Comment #7
lsolesen commentedThis is what I succesfully used on Commerce Kickstart.
Comment #9
dsnopekThanks @lsolesen and @arielqgold! I hope this is finally the end of this very frustrating issue. :-)
