"break" seems to be the obvious choice of inline syntactic keyword. Since this is Lisp, I guess its semantics would need to be extended to "break and return value".
All languages I know that have a syntactic "break" use it to modify local control flow. Unless I missed some vital part of the discussion, we'd want to terminate an async process that has used up the time budget alotted to it. So I don't see "break" as an obvious nor appropriate choice.
