I have seen this fail in multiple formulas. Still, most consistently while downloading patches for Ogre 2.3, perhaps we should consider hosting patches in this repository to avoid requests with raw content (blob) access from GitHub, since those are not authenticated and going through their CDN, which are way more aggressive at enforcing rate limits, especially on CI runners.

one way this could be improved upstream at brew is to not curl if the patch is already downloaded. I prefer opening pull requests with potential fixes rather than bug reports to brew, so I'll wait on that until I have a chance to investigate it more specifically
