How long after no contact do you considered yourself ghosted?

How long after not hearing from someone, do you consider yourself ghosted?

I hung out with a guy on Saturday and it was nice and I think we both had a good time. Leading up to our hangout, he was very responsive and texted back at a pretty good rate.

After Saturday, we haven’t talked as we both had our own plans on Sunday. Come the week, on Tuesday I texted him and made a joke saying “oof — did I just get ghosted?” and he said “no sorry. been in meetings all day. stressed af” so I let him be and here we are on Thursday with no text. Did I just get ghosted or is he genuinely that busy that he can’t text me almost a full 2-3days?
