Fide Online Arena considers an enemy Bishop, allied pawn as a loss after timeout?

As you can see above, I was playing as black. I ran out of time, and this endgame is apparantly considered as a loss for black. I could be wrong, but is there a conceivable way for white to checkmate in this position? If not, it should definitely be considered a draw...

Update: the image didn't upload, but the final position was like this when I (Black) ran out of time.

Fide rules makes this 1-0

It's possible to checkmate. OTB and on lichess it would be 1-0 too. Chess.com is the odd one out by calling it a draw

#3 chess.com is right. Because no people would get mated with black. Lichess, OTB and FIDE online arena are considering chess players stupid.

Well if you flag with 5 queens Vs 1 pawn it's a loss everywhere even though there's no chance of getting mated

The logic is pawn can promote to queen and opponent running out of time is assumed to be incapable of stopping the promotion

#5 that is different. The pawn can queen and mate without the help of the opponent. But the bishop can't.

But there is no way to draw a line. You always need some sort of help to mate your opponent.
