Can you set the timeout *after* you know the worker will be able to
process the request ?
if (submit(work))
    timeout = 30000;
else
    timeout = 1000;
ctx = request.startAsync();
ctx.setTimeout(timeout);

Alternatively, you can startAsync(), submit and return, and the task
can dispatch (perhaps to a different URI, or differentiating using a
request attribute) where you call startAsync() again with the throttle
timeout.
