When someone pings you on teams or Skype - do you respond immediately or when you have time?

I have one colleague that expects a response immediately. Or if I ping them and they are busy, they get upset. They respond with “hold on” or “can’t right now”. When my message clearly says respond when you get a chance.

Do you feel that after COVID the deadlines and pression is bigger than ever? Deadlines far from reasonable, unnecessary calls - at lunch hour, at night -, people calling you everyhour just because they couldn't wait 15min on Skype/Teams, people calling you or texting you during calls...now every project is super important and if you don't do it the Earth will explode. Jesus, just chill!!!
