OKX withdrawal holds

OKX publishes 5 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.

Changed your login password

24 hours

Nothing can be withdrawn until it lifts

  • You can trade right now
  • You can still deposit
  • Cannot be shortened, including by support.

OKX states the restriction lifts automatically when the period ends.

Changed any authentication method

24 hours

Nothing can be withdrawn until it lifts

  • You can trade right now
  • You can still deposit
  • Cannot be shortened, including by support.

Added a new address to the allowlist

24 hours

Only newly added addresses are blocked — addresses already on your account still work

  • You can trade right now
  • You can still deposit
  • You can still withdraw to addresses already on your account
  • Cannot be shortened, including by support.

Withdrawals to addresses already on the allowlist are unaffected.

Bought through P2P (T+N restriction)

No published length

Only the amount you deposited or bought is held — the rest of your balance still moves

  • You can trade right now
  • You can still deposit
  • Cannot be shortened, including by support.

OKX publishes no fixed figure — it states only that the restriction lifts automatically when the T+N period ends.

Work out your exact date

Enter when you did it and get the moment the hold lifts, to the minute. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Nobody can speed this up

Holds 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. OKX will never ask you to pay to unlock your own balance.
