I'm Indonesian freelancer, can't transfer funds to my US bank account

I am an Indonesian freelancer, and I cannot transfer funds from my Paypal account to my US bank account. It always replied with "There's a problem. Right now, we're not able to transfer the funds to your bank account."

I've already googled my issue, many users answered that we have to wait, however, it's been more than 24 hours, and I still couldn't do it. 

What happened? is paypal deliberately withholding my hard-earned money?

Was it a bank account opened in the U.S and so available for U.S ex-pats to use with another countries paypal account?

Only paypal does not support virtual/digital bank accounts like Wise or Payoneer unfortunately.

It is a digital bank account, so Paypal can't transfer funds to that type of account?

If yes, what is the alternative?

You can withdraw to a local bank account (not virtual/digital) or card whichever option it gives you when you click to withdraw funds.

Add account from conventional bank. I use BCA and never encounter any problems.
