Nothing obvious to me. I would add to your logged message the
$sender_rate variable, which is the value computed for this recipient.

You may have a corrupted ratelimit file (recently performed a kill -9
of exim processes maybe?). You may find it best to just delete it
(stop exim (twice), delete the file and lock file if present, then
start exim).
