If I work 11 days in a row as per California state law, when do those days start becoming over time?

Far as I'm aware it depends on your work week. If you have a Sunday to Saturday work week.. They could effectively give you in week one, Sunday and Monday off, Working Tues thru Sat and then week two work you Sun through Thurs.

In Cali anything after 8 hours per day, or 40 hours per work week is overtime. If you work a different work schedule, i.e. 4-10s, then its anything after 10 hours per day, 40 per week.

This is correct -- the work week thingy has to do with the number of hours you work in a week. 11 days in a row could possibly mean no overtime. I know I've done 9 days in a row with no overtime working all 8 hour shifts.

What days did you start and finish?

SO for example I begin my workweek on Friday and end on Thursday. If you know when your work week begins that's what really affects the overtime more than anything else.
You should be getting some figuring 7+4 = 11 I forsee maybe 2 days at time and a half.

The law doesn't concern itself with the number of days in a row worked, rather, the number of days worked in a single week. Only if you work all 7 days in a work week are you entitled to time-and-a-half on the 7th day.

So, you could work Monday-Saturday one week (6 days), then Sunday-Thursday the following week (5 days) for a total of 11 days, and none of them would be considered overtime. If, instead, you work Sunday-Saturday one week, then Sunday-Wednesday the next, you would get overtime only for the hours you worked on the Saturday of the 1st week.
