Others have given great advice on how to get out of the situation or avoid it. 
But to talk to the cold start question:

For various reasons that we don't need to go into here, we have experienced 
100% TGS utilization multiple times over the last year on multiple JESPlexes. 
Including times when nobody did anything about it and allowed the situation to 
persist for hours. Bad things can start to happen if you leave the spool 100% 
full for hours. 

But in no case did we have to cold start. 

In fact, I don't think we've done a cold start on any of our JESplexes in 
years. Hmmm... is there a $D for that tidbit?
