TLDR : Answer Summary
The user applied for a visa in Jakarta on June 23rd and is wondering if they should email the embassy for a follow-up since their application is still pending. Comments suggest others are experiencing similar delays, with average processing times noted on the embassy's website as 10 working days.

Jakarta has received a lot of applications in recent times. Majority due to soft power companies heavily recommending them.
If applying in Indonesia I definitely recommend people to be patient and make sure their application is bulletproof to avoid further documentation request.
Also people should expect to wait up to 14+ days in some cases I have seen waiting times up to 1 month.
