For some reason over the course of the last week or so I’ve noticed that TravisCI builds take very long times to start. It seems like on average it takes about 15-30 minutes before the build will start running, and performing my code tests. I’m currently using cached golang dependencies.

TravisCI Build Start Times Absurdly Long

A likely explanation is that you (your organization) has many jobs running already and the jobs are queued and waiting for their turn to run.

Jobs not getting queued

Node.js Build stuck in "queued" for hours
