I will be busy with vs I will be busy by

The phrases are both acceptable, but they would be used in dissimilar contexts. 'I will be busy with' is used to indicate the activity or task that will keep you occupied, while 'I will be busy by' is used to indicate the time by which you will be busy. Therefore, the choice between the two depends on what you want to convey.
