For MacVim, because we already transitioned to travis-ci.com from .org a little while ago, we got hit by this without me being aware of it at first since I didn't read about this change. They give you a trial account with a fixed amount of credit, which MacVim CI quickly used up. After that you have to contact them to get approved for OSS credits. It's still not 100% clear to me (and I already re-read the blog post and documentation) whether these OSS credits are allotted on a per-month basis, or you need to ask for more every time you run out. (I'm still waiting for my OSS credits to be approved but they gave me some temporary credits to use for now)
Either way, I think Vim needs to move off from travis-ci.org because that's for sure going away. Seems to me moving to Github Actions makes a lot more sense than trying to deal with the credit system in Travis CI (also because there doesn't seem to be an easy way to buy credits with a payment scheme). Not sure if Github Actions provides a superset of features or environments compared to Travis CI though (for macOS for example Tracis CI has a *lot* more OS versions available).
