My app deployment to Heroku stopped working one day ago, (January 14th). I received the error: “API request failed. Message: Invalid credentials provided.” This app has been online for many months and I’ve never had issues with deployment before. I use GitHub for version control. Testing and deployment to Heroku are automatically performed by Travis CI when any updates are pushed to the Master branch. Here’s a link to the latest broken build: [https://travis-ci.org/drichards211/revuer/builds/637772527](https://travis-ci.org/drichards211/revuer/builds/637772527) 221 The command “npm test” exited with 0. 222 store build cache 224 225 1.66s$ rvm $(travis\_internal\_ruby) --fuzzy do ruby -S gem install dpl 226 Successfully installed dpl-1.10.14 227 1 gem installed 228 229 Installing deploy dependencies 230 Successfully installed multipart-post-2.1.1 231 Successfully installed faraday-1.0.0 232 Successfully installed rendezvous-0.1.3 233 Successfully installed netrc-0.11.0 234 Successfully installed dpl-heroku-1.10.14 235 5 gems installed 236 237 API request failed. 238 Message: Invalid credentials provided. 239 Reference: 240 Preparing deploy 241 242 failed to deploy Nothing has changed on my end. I’ve updated all Node dependencies as a broad-spectrum inoculant, but the problem appears after the tests successfully complete and deployment is attempted by Travis. There appears to be a credentials handshake issue between Travis CI and Heroku. Is there any chance this is a bug with the latest build?: “[skip ci] command is respected under all circumstances” > **[Travis CI changelog](https://changelog.travis-ci.com/)** > > Travis CI changelog ---

Thanks for the report. We will take a look. I don’t think that change is related to this issue. ---

We took a look, but can’t quite reason about why it started failing for you. Could you try re-encrypting your API key and let us know how it works for you? ---

Thank you for taking a look at this. I’ve updated my API Token with Heroku. I entered: “travis setup heroku --force” from the command line to encrypt and embed the new API key into .travis.yml Pushed the changes to the master branch on GitHub and I’m still receiving the same error. The app won’t deploy. I’ve tried opening a ticket with Heroku, but they won’t accept tickets on free applications, even though I’m paying for enhanced Dyno access. 😕 ---

After 24 hours, I re-encrypted the Heroku API token, again, and updated the value with .travis.yml. This time it actually worked; a successful deployment. No other changes. Mystifying. ---
