A practical guide for users who see an account restriction, paused feature or risk-control message on OKX, covering common causes and the right order of checks. This refined tutorial keeps the path short and focused so you can move without guessing.

Who This Is For

Use this page if you are working through the security flow and want a faster read before taking the next action inside OKX.

Suggested Path

First confirm whether the restriction affects login, withdrawals, trading or identity actions and save the exact wording shown on the page.
Then review recent device changes, network changes, binding updates, withdrawal-address edits or region details that may have triggered extra checks.
If the page asks for KYC, code verification, device review or a risk questionnaire, complete those steps in the order shown instead of testing multiple paths at once.
If the restriction still does not clear, gather screenshots, a timeline, recent asset actions and device details before contacting support.

FAQ

Does account restricted mean the account is gone?

Not always. Many restrictions are temporary or limited to a single function.

Why are withdrawal restrictions often tied to security settings?

New devices, 2FA changes and whitelist edits often trigger extra protection.

When should I contact support?

After you complete the required on-page steps and the restriction still does not change.

Next Step
