does paypal give you instructions to transfer funds out of a permanently limited account exactly after the 180 days or how long does it usually take before you'll get your money back if you even are able to get your money back?? asking because PayPal permanently limited my account and it has almost been 180 days want to hopefully find out how much longer it will be before I'm able to access my money that has been stuck here doing nothing but earning interest for PayPal ...

If you have been told your Paypal account has been permanently limited then Paypal tends to hold any funds for 180 days. This is the same time frame that buyers have to open Paypal disputes.

If no disputes are opened in 180 days then normally you are allowed to withdraw the funds. That is as long as you are over 18, the account is in your legal name and registered in the country where you reside.

Sometimes they confiscate funds under this policy.

Paypal also may request further documentation from you before you can withdraw those funds.
