Answer 1

I noticed a new ps:stop command added to the Heroku command line client a few days ago:
https://github.com/heroku/heroku/commit/a6d9eb7f314bf2c5f162a508e8d764286fb577bb

I'm not sure if that change made it into version 2.9.0 but it would be worth a try.

Update

This is now in the Heroku Toolbelt. Just run:

heroku ps:stop 

Example:

heroku ps:stop run.8729
