Coinbase publishes 2 separate rules that stop a withdrawal. Each one is triggered by something you did, and each has its own length and its own scope — which is why "my account is locked" is usually the wrong description of what is happening.
Only the amount you deposited or bought is held — the rest of your balance still moves
Coinbase publishes no fixed number: it requests the cash from your bank within three to five days and lifts the hold when it arrives. The exact date is in the confirmation email, and holds expire by 11:59 PM PT on that date. It can be extended if a transaction is disputed.
Nothing can be withdrawn until it lifts
Coinbase states plainly that this hold time cannot be altered and that Support cannot reduce it. Length depends on account history and payment activity.
Enter when you did it and get the moment the hold lifts, to the minute. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
Open the calculatorHolds run on a timer, not on a decision, and no support agent has a button for them. Anyone who contacts you offering to release your funds early — by any channel, for any fee — is running a scam. Coinbase will never ask you to pay to unlock your own balance.
