The free/busy option is absent from my Apple calendar events. I'm using iCloud only, with zero other calendars connected. Same is true for both Mac (Catalina), and iPhone (up to date) calendars.
What's the solution? There have been several threads about this over the years, but nothing with a solution.
TIA!
Another poster had it right. The issue is with the iCal called "Calendar". No option for "Show As" is present. However, if using the calendar "Home" or "Work", or any other calendar you create, the "Show As" option IS present.
Note: the "Show As" option is also absent for any calendar that is shared!
This is clearly an issue with iCal that Apple does not want to put resources into fixing.

Yeah, this is not helpful at all! The option to show as free is not there!
Hi there Tnuns,
We understand you're experiencing issues with blocking out your schedule for events, and we'd like to share some resources that can help.
Get started here: Send and receive invitations in Calendar on iPhone
Specifically, the section below may help:
"Schedule an event without blocking your schedule
You can add an event to your calendar without having the timeframe appear as busy to others who send you invitations.
On your Mac, you can edit this option by clicking the date and time to view the "Show as" field. Learn more here: Add, modify, or delete events in Calendar on Mac
We hope this helps.
Tnuns,
Thanks for letting us know.
If you enable syncing with another account, do you notice the same issue there? This helps us further isolate the source of the issue to the account or all events in Calendar.
Also, if you haven't already, restart both devices, and check again.
Cheers!
Tnuns,
We appreciate you sharing that additional information.

Take care.
