A CS2 update added a flashing red indicator beneath the health display after C4 is planted. It previews the health you stand to lose when the bomb explodes.
If the red section covers your remaining health, you are still in lethal range. Moving farther from the planted bomb changes the indicator, making it easier to judge how much room you need to escape.
The original update also changed the explosion-damage calculation, including the effect of certain cover, and included collection changes. Treat the indicator as useful feedback while you move rather than a reason to wait until the final second.
