I've never been there so I'm speculating. Is "deadline exceeded" something you can catch and then still perform further processing? One would expect that allowing you further processing would somewhat defeat the objective of having a deadline in the first place.
You might need to pre-slice your file into segments that you know will not go anywhere near the deadline. Since you're resigned to parsing some of your document via the task queue, you might as well parse it all that way, and do zero parsing synchronous to the upload.
