11Gb seems odd, the whole planet does have around 6GB for areas.

I did an initial db load with 49728-ireland-and-northern-ireland.osm.pbf
(including meta, lz4 compression for bin and map), and created areas
(unmodified areas.osm3s script). Total size for areas was 107 MB. Total
size for the db 1.5 GB.

  area[~"."~"."];out count;

produces

  <count total="104219" nodes="0" ways="0" relations="0"/>

Can you please post the exact steps to replicate, including:
* which file to use for an initial load,
* which replication_id to use for updates
* when to run the area creation and how often
* any other important changes we should be aware of.

Thanks
