Change WooCommerce PayPal Built-in Default Order Status

Question

I want to change the default status the built in PayPal gateway in WooCommerce . Currently, when a new order is created, it's updating to 'processing'. I want to change it but I can't see anywhere to change it, not in the WooCommerce -> Payments settings and not in the code (probably I just missed it).

Does anyone knows where it is?

Thanks.

add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'change_order_status', 10, 1 );
function change_order_status( $order_id ){
     if( ! $order_id ) return;
     $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
     if( $order->get_status() == 'processing' )
     $order->update_status( 'pending' );
}
