My starter exploded all over the kitchen ceiling at 2am

Fed my rye starter before bed without leaving enough headroom in the quart jar, the lid blew off around 2am and now there's dried dough drips I keep finding on the cabinets, has anyone else had a jar overflow like this and what's the safest container size for an active starter?

Dried dough drips on the cabinets at 2am sounds like a horror movie. I can't even imagine waking up to that sticky mess everywhere. You gotta go way bigger on the jar, like a half gallon at least, or put a loose towel over the top instead of a lid.

3am sourdough explosions are how my last bread knife ended up in the sink.
