What does "For security reasons, we need a bit more time to review this transaction..." TRULY mean?

I've made successful withdrawals to my bank account, and this is the first time that I got this message from PayPal:

 

"For security reasons, we need a bit more time to review this transaction. This can take up to 24 hours, but we’ll email you as soon as we have an update."

 

It concerns me, not only because the message is vague, but I also can't afford any delay in receiving the funds. 

 

I got a templated response when contacting customer service, and I couldn't get anyone on the phone. It's frustrating since I obv don't have all the Skype credits in the world to keep calling 100x. 

 

I went over the posts here, and it seems many people had the same issue. But I couldn't find any information re: how soon it's resolved. The status of my request rn is "Pending".

 

Based on your experience, how soon would it take to fix this? Thanks!
