This is either out of date, or it's been changed since exim 4.84 (Debian
Jessie).

The ratelimit database can be modified in real-time.

Here is how I do it:

1) file=~/tmp/ratelimit.$(date +%F_%T); exim_dumpdb /var/spool/exim4
ratelimit > $file; echo $file

2) I then grep the file for the entry I need, e.g. the IP address 127.2.3.4:

07-Sep-2018 09:34:24.253257 rate:     12.423 key: 1h/per_rcpt/127.2.3.4


3) exim_fixdb /var/spool/exim4 ratelimit
Modifying Exim hints database /var/spool/exim4/db/ratelimit

4) At the prompt, enter the key:

07-Sep-2018 09:35:11
0 time stamp: 07-Sep-2018 09:35:11
1 fract. time: .327344
2 sender rate: 13.391

5) At the prompt, enter the key number you want to change (2 for the sender
rate), a space, and the new value:

07-Sep-2018 09:35:37
0 time stamp: 07-Sep-2018 09:35:37
1 fract. time: .327344
2 sender rate: 1.151

And that's it.
