At least for Linux, offhand, popular task scheduler frequencies used to be 100 and 1000hz.
Looks like the Kernel's tracking that for tasks:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/scheduler/sched-desig...
"In CFS the virtual runtime is expressed and tracked via the per-task p->se.vruntime (nanosec-unit) value."
I imagine the .vruntime struct field is still maintained with the newer "EEVDF Scheduler".

A Userspace task scheduler could similarly compare the DEADLINE against that runtime value. It would still reach that deadline after the minimum wait has passed, and thus be 'background GCed' at a time of the language's choice.
This appears to be misunderstanding how futures work in Rust. The language doesn't evaluate futures or tasks. A future is just a struct with a poll method, sort of like how a closure in Rust is just a struct with a call method. The await keyword just inserts yield points into the state machine that the language generates for you. If you want to actually run a future, you need an executor. The executor could implement timeouts, but it's not something that the language could possibly have any way to enforce or require.
.await(DEADLINE) (where deadline is any non 0 unit, and 0 is 'reference defined' but a real number) should have been the easy interface. Either it yields a value or it doesn't, then the programmer has to expressly handle failure.
Deadline would only be the minimum duration after which the language, when evaluating the future / task, would return the empty set/result.
