The OP has a ground to query this. There is a reason to suspect that the immigration might have a common believe that the unlimited ITAP is only valid for 10 or 15 years (see attached). even though the authoritative source, say other wise. E.g Unlimited and only require to report it every five years.
Permen_Imipas_No_3_2025 Article 34 para (1), it is clearly stated, five years reporting requirement and no fees:
"Diaspora holding Permanent Residence Permits for an unlimited period of time are required to report to the Immigration Office whose working area covers the Diaspora's residence every 5 (five) years and are not subject to any fees."
It is not uncommon in Indonesia, it does not really matter what the regulation / law is saying, what they have been told by their superiors is what they will apply in their decision making. But we will understand it better if there are more people are sharing their personal experience.
