yes, that's an Overpass API issue, which has also been reported on
GitHub [1]. Roland is already informed and started to recreate the areas
from scratch.

Please check the Overpass status wiki page for any updates [2].

If you're impacted by this behavior in Overpass turbo, simply switch to
another instance, like rambler. For the "enclosing feature" on the main
page, that's unfortunately not possible, afaik.

Kind regards,
