A little unnatural
@chiiboo That sounds a small bit unnatural, but I understand what you mean :) Personally, I would only use "10 minutes later" when talking about the past, e.g. "I was available ten minutes later". If you are talking about the present/future, "I'm available in 10 minutes" would sound most natural. Hope that is useful :)
