It gripes my cookies that the "helpful" red-yellow-green light is
time based and has nothing to do with the actual condition of the
filter. I'm a one-person household, so I know it's prompting me to
replace the filter too soon, but I have no idea by how much.

My fridge doesn't have such a light (that I know of). My system for the
filters is that if the flow slows enough that I notice it, I replace the
filter. The flow I am looking at is the ice water spigot in the door,
which I usually use a few times a week. If you are only looking at the
ice cubes, not sure how you would tell. If the icemaker fill is by
volume, you will hear it filling for a longer time. If the fill is
timer based, the cubes will be smaller.
