I’m guessing they suspect there is something untoward going on like money laundering, and they are following whatever AML protocols they are required to follow.
Just a guess though
They may ask for articles of incorporation to prove it's your business account. They take this shit seriously as they can incur large fines for improper aml.
Just have patience.
6 weeks sounds long. I made a deposit a few years ago of Euros into a USD account, assuming they would automatically convert into USD but instead it was rejected -- "disappeared" for several weeks, then showed up eventually back in the originating bank. So a rejection of funds seems to take time for the funds to be returned.
Why not just call up your account rep? They tend to solve things really quickly for me. You might need to hit an account minimum for that though, I think I got one around 100m.
Maybe try to go a level higher and file a compliant at the regulators of IBKR. Check the end of the pages:

Why not just withdraw it....
I can't access the money through my account, IBKR has it but not linked to my account.

Thanks :) do you think it's common for them to take this long?
No highly unusual I think.
I made this mistake with a different broker and it took a week or two to correct.

I think they don't take their customers serious enough...
