Im extremely new and clearly terrible at chess, wondering how many turns i have before a draw i was under the impression that it was 50 but it seems to be happening at under 10

If you mean this game:

srishtisuratkal vs. lornepalmatier | Analysis - Chess.com

... that was a draw by stalemate, not by the 50-move rule.

Stalemate - Wikipedia

like i said im terrible, i thought i could still win that, but i guess the computer knows better than me

Of course you could have won it... if you hadn't stalemated your opponent.

Did you read the Wikipedia entry explaining what a stalemate is?
