Applied for 485 in September of 2017. Finished school Jan 2018. What is my current status? Is there a risk of deportation because i am no longer an F1 student?

You are no longer F1 but C09 (that's the category on my new EAD). I also adjusted from F1 to AOS (through marriage to a USC). What's your timeline?

Did you F1 expire while AOS is pending?

F1 status expired the day the OP finished the school unless OP applied for OPT. F1 visa expiry date has no meaning.

According to few articles, once F1 status expires, one is in a period of Authorized Stay. However, I read that ICE doesn't follow this guideline, and for them, it shows up as an overstay?

not correct. There is a 60 day grace period after graduation to leave, apply for opt or change to another status.

Most f-1 are d/s and as such can not show up ice databases as overstay. Only if and when SEVIS is terminated do you start to flag in ICE databases.

SEVIS is terminated promptly by school once one finishes school. Usually, school DSO are prompt in keeping the records up to date.

The point is still the same. You have 60 days to leave, change status or enroll in another degree/grad school.

yes sure, but what i meant is, people will start showing up in ICE's databases once the record is terminated EVEN if there is a pending AOS. We hope that ICE doesn't consider those a target or a priority.

People with pending AOS are generally not targets or priorities if their only issue is overstay.
