Have you walked through the troubleshooter?
on-prem users are not able to view the free/busy of cloud users in hybrid setup
We are setting up a hybrid Exchange setup from Exchange 2029. We are trying to test the free/busy of migrated users mailbox after mailbox is migrated to Exchange online.
We have issue seeing free/busy status of Exchange online users from on-premises (on premise users). once we migrate them to Exchange Online.
We did troubleshoot by checking - Autodiscovery, Federation test, organization relationship, target sharing

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform!
Based on your description, you are experiencing issues with free/busy status for on-premises Exchange Online users. Here are some additional steps you might consider taking:
- Make sure the default permissions on the calendar folder are set to at least "Free/Busy Time" or "Free/Busy Time, Subject, Location". If the permissions are set to "None" or "Contributors", on-premises users will not be able to view free/busy information.
- Double-check the organization relationship settings between on-premises Exchange and Exchange Online. Make sure the AvailabilityAddressSpace is configured correctly.
- Confirm that Autodiscover is configured correctly and accessible from both the on-premises and Exchange Online environments. This is critical for free/busy information retrieval.
- Run the Hybrid Configuration Wizard again to make sure all settings are applied correctly. Sometimes rerunning the wizard can resolve configuration issues.
- Make sure there are no firewall or network issues blocking communication between the on-premises and Exchange Online servers.
- Try testing free/busy status with different user accounts to see if the issue is specific to certain users or a broader issue.
Please feel free to contact me for any updates. And if this helps, don't forget to mark it as an answer.
Best,
