I have also noticed this and worked around it for my own projects. However, I imagine that the recently added cloning restriction is hitting many users of Wikibase that suddenly see their submodule cloning fail. A fix of the root cause or workaround that works for everyone will limit the damage to the community.
To add some more specific details, we are cloning like this:
git clone https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase --branch=REL1_39 --depth=1 --recurse-submodules
And then the 3 submodule clones fail like this:
fatal: unable to access 'https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/wikibase-data-model.git/': The requested URL returned error: 429
fatal: unable to access 'https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/datavalues-javascript.git/': The requested URL returned error: 429
fatal: unable to access 'https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/wikibase-serialization.git/': The requested URL returned error: 429
We noticed this happing since at least Friday, 9 August.

@JeroenDeDauw You mentioned:
recently added cloning restriction
Do you have a reference? This could ease following up on our side.
Change #1063209 had a related patch set uploaded (by Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE); author: Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)):
[mediawiki/extensions/EntitySchema@master] Clone Wikibase submodules from GitHub
I see that this is breaking the CI of various community extensions. Example: https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/WikibaseEdtf/actions
For all my use cases this issue has not been solved at all.

The issue showed up about 3 months ago. It is not caused by submodule changes in 2017.
Nope. I guess this was something done by the WMF operations folks somewhere on Gerrit.
