Electrical conponants have a tolerance. Using a 65 watt charger is going to put them underpowerd. I would wait in my opinion until you get the replacement charger.

Your laptop need more power than is being supplied, this can put the charger under strain.

It also means the laptop is draining the batteries faster than the charger can charge them. You may have to leave the laptop off while it charges. Otherwise, as others have mentioned, the charger can fail.
