Some ideas  that could help.
- Increase  the timeout in [chef](https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/blob/master/cookbooks/web/templates/default/apache.frontend.erb#L45), for example body=20,MinRate=500 (no hard cap) or a higher cap like body=20-600. but the downside  it that  slow uploads hold Apache workers open much longer.
- Compress the file in the browser before upload, using the [CompressionStream API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CompressionStream) to send it as .gpx.gz. The server already accepts this format, so no backend change. Uploads get 4-5x smaller. This also fits well with https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/7124
- [Upload directly](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/PresignedUrlUploadObject.html) the file to object storage with a presigned URL, so the file skips the Apache timeout, rails would still import the points from S3 in the background job, same as today.
