Tor has a control port that can be used to change configuration
on-the-fly.  And there's a library to talk to it in Python called Stem.
(https://stem.torproject.org/)  With Stem, you'd do something like this:

from stem.control import Controller

with Controller.from_port(port = 9051) as controller:
    controller.authenticate()
    controller.set_options({
      "BandwidthRate": "1073741824",
      "BandwidthBurst": "1073741824",
      "MaxAdvertisedBandwidth": "1073741824",
    })
