Once you have 4.90 you'll be able to use a msg:delivery Event to do the
ratelimit update, and only test the ratelimit value from the router;
then it doesn't matter how many times the latter is called.

Though, come to think of it, you could use a dummy expansion in the
transport to do the update now. It'll be vulnerable to failed
delivery attempts, but preferable to doing it at routing time.
