The water is still being filtered after the light goes red, however it will come out at a lower pressure. I’m assuming you just mean your tap filter only lasts 45-60 days. Most refridgerator filters should last 6 months or so before the light goes red. I always change mine around the time it goes red because I prefer the proper water flow, and wouldn’t want something stupid like that extra few days to void my warranty on the fridge.
I also don’t know if the lower flow as the filter clogs might affect the ice cube production. They definitely do keep the intervals short to sell more filters though. Their explanation would of course be that they set the interval to ensure that you always have peak performance from the filtering system, and therefore it should be changed before it begins to lose much efficiency.
I think after the light goes red you can still safely use it for another week.
