Thanks - I shouldn’t write to mailing lists when I have a cold. I was mislead by the original mail from the user. The mail hit our mailservers twice apparently. Once it got the low score, it was then forwarded to another server, then came back and then it became a high score. And I got the mail headers of the first result. Thanks to your mail, my brain made the connection that the bounce the user got wouldn’t have any headers with spam scoring. Sorry for the noise.

But $spam_score_int is signed as well. And the condition used by the OP
should work just fine IMVHO.
At least my local exim 4.96 does report:
# exim -be '${if >{-200}{120}{1}{0}}'
0
# exim -be '${if >{200}{120}{1}{0}}'
1

The ">" comparison operator accepts integers, argument "-12.6" should raise
an error. Negative values are valid. You can strip out dot with ${sg{..}},
for example. Maybe there are some more elegant solutions...

[exim] spam_score_int - what to do with negative values?
Hi!
I deny messages in an acl if they have a score of more than 8 or 12:
(shortened version with less conditions, that are not relevant here probably):
deny message = delivery error with obfuscating details
condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{120}{1}{0}}
Usually this is no problem. But now I have a user who got a mail that was
denied with a score of -12.6 and an error message that tells me that it got
denied because of this rule.
Now I wonder if spam_score_int is actually an absolute value and 12.6 and -12.6
are the same in the comparison.
If this is the case, what can I do about it?
Best,
Niels
