Drawing a game even though I had time.

I was playing a game and it was a draw even though I was up on time. The game said drawn on time and insufficient material. Ive never had a game drawn because insufficient material. No matter how down I was or my oppenent was in material, the person who's clock ran out, lost. Can anyone speak on this. After 2400 games this never happens.

You had no possible way to checkmate them

The game was drawn because your opponent had insufficient material to checkmate you when your time ran out.

If someone doesn’t have enough material to checkmate you ever it’s a draw if the other person runs out of time

Ok, thanks. The answer revealed itself on a another game. A King minus all pieces and winning on time is drawn as the clock runs down. Thank you for the explanations.
