When you hit the email limit Sendgrid throws an exception when you attempt to send for the rest of the day. If you see this in Hoptoad then you can enable sendgrid:premium for the rest of the day to up your quota.
A great heroku addon would be "sendgrid:smart" which would automatically enable the premium when needed, and disable it when not needed, but for now it may be better to implement it yourself using exception handling and a cron task to reset.
