Who This Is For

Suggested Path
- Check the OKX withdrawal record first and identify whether the status is under review, processing or already sent on-chain.
- Then review recent device changes, security-setting changes, whitelist rules and any extra withdrawal verification request.
- If the page still shows waiting, verify network choice, address format, memo or tag, limits and account notifications.
- When the delay exceeds the normal window, gather screenshots, asset, network, address, amount and timestamps before contacting support.

FAQ
Does a pending withdrawal always mean something is wrong?
No. It can come from security review, device change or normal processing delay.
What should I check first?
Start with the exact status wording and whether the delay belongs to review or chain processing.
Why avoid repeated withdrawal requests?
They can create more risk-review friction and make troubleshooting harder.
