Perhaps replace the last paragraph in section 40.36:

The per_cmd option causes Exim to recompute the rate every time the condition
is processed. This can be used to limit the SMTP command rate. The alias
per_rcpt is provided for use in the RCPT ACL instead of per_cmd to make it
clear that the effect is to limit the rate at which recipients are accepted.
Note that in this case the rate limiting engine will see a message with many
recipients as a large high-speed burst.

with these two paragraphs instead:

The per_rcpt option causes Exim to limit the rate at which recipients
are accepted. To be effective, it would need to be used in either the
acl_smtp_rcpt or the acl_not_smtp ACL. In the acl_smtp_rcpt ACL, the
number of recipients is incremented by one. In the case of a locally
submitted message in the acl_not_smtp ACL, the number of recipients
incremented is equal to $recipients_count for the entire message.
Note that in either case the rate limiting engine will see a message
with many recipients as a large high-speed burst.

The per_cmd option causes Exim to recompute the rate every time the
condition is processed. This can be used to limit the SMTP command
rate. This command is essentially an alias of per_rcpt to make it
clear that the effect is to limit the rate at which individual
commands, rather than recipients, are accepted.
