How long should I wait to can him in order to keep dignity?

Have been hanging out for a month and an half, seemed really connective and comfortable. Last time in two days will have been two weeks. About 5 days after asked if he wanted to do something. Said he was tired and low on gas which wasn't out of the ordinary as he'd been working 3 jobs so I said no worries. He didn't open that last message for another 5 days. So I reached out asking how he was doing that it had just been awhile since I'd heard from him but that I wasn't trying to be the clingy girl so if he was busy or not really interested I'd back off no worries. Two hours later he sends me "hey". Hey? Whatever, I send hey back. By this evening it will be another two days that he hasn't opened that message either. I understand that he's been working a lot and was moving last week, but I know he's been active on social media and tell me if I'm wrong, but think it's pretty obvious he's not very interested.

Honestly, I liked him but have processed enough I'm good with just deleting him. What I do want to know is how long to wait before doing so. I don't want to give him a reason to be like this girl was clingy or just wanted attention. I feel like I've actually given quite a bit of space between messages and not been too pushy, but want to wait till it doesn't just look like I can't understand when someone has a lot on their plate or impatient. Or has he clearly shown already and should just go for it?

He ended up responding yesterday as I was about to send the see ya message. Had meant to tell me someone from his past had come back and he was seeing them right this second but that he hadn't meant to make me feel ghosted and I was a dope ass person lol
