SD Starter too Fast!

I keep my SD starter in the fridge and feed before use. Today it took off like crazy, triples in height and my autolyse has an hour left. I put the starter in the fridge to slow it down because I don't want it to reach it's peak and fall before I'm ready for it. Does anyone have experience with this and can refrigerating the starter at this point be harmful?
