What’s the opposite of busy?
So, the situation is the following: my girlfriend says she will be busy for some time. So I want to say: "message me when you get free/become unbusy/get unoccupied, please"
What’s the right and natural way to say it? All of these variants sound a bit strange, though I am used to saying "when you get free".

I am a Native English speaker and "when you're free" is exactly what I would say.
"When things slow down" is another alternative that I would use.
Some opposites (antonyms) of busy are;
"Idle" (Does not work for this one)
"inactive" (Does not work for this one)
"Unoccupied" (Works, but not natural)
Antonyms are words that are complete/total opposites of other words.
