According to a hadith I read in Riyad al Salaheen, Sayyidina Muhammad (pbuh) said that Allah stops forgiving a person once they become 60 years old, is this true?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org
Answer

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘Allah Ta’ala accepts the
repentance of a person right until he breathes his last.’

The Hadith referred by you does not mean that Allah Ta’ala stops His
forgiveness upon being 60 years. The Arabic word in the Hadith is
‘A-azarallaahu’ meaning ‘Allah does not accept an excuse from a person who
reached the age of 60′. As such a person has been given sufficient time to
change his life to be obedient to Allah Ta’ala. The person cannot complain
of not being given sufficient life.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
