Comparing the stacktrace with [https://github.com/travis-ci/dpl/blob/v1.10.15/lib/dpl/provider/releases.rb](https://github.com/travis-ci/dpl/blob/v1.10.15/lib/dpl/provider/releases.rb), the error happens at checking credentials.  
If you are sure your token is correct, maybe [it doesn’t have required permissions](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/releases/#authenticating-with-an-oauth-token)?

FYI, [you are not using deployment v2](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment-v2#how-to-opt-in-to-v2), so refer to [https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/releases/](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/releases/).

You can also double-check if your token is decrypted correctly by printing a small part of it.
