This is either out of date, or it's been changed since exim 4.84 (Debian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

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

And that's it.
