The plane was still climbing, this happened at an altitude of 16000ft when the cruise altitude for that flight is 30000ft:

They usually keep the "seat belts" light on during ascent and descent because it's when air pressures are changing (or you might run into a tree, or another airplane), while once at cruise altitude it is reasonably safe to take the seat belt off.
