I think because your opponent had insufficient material

Yup. You ran out of time so it would be a loss normally. But your opponent doesn’t have the material to checkmate you. So it’s a draw.

Your opponent couldn't win because they had no pieces left.
You couldn't win because you had no time left to move your pieces.
So; Draw.

not necessarily
The last game I played should have been my opponents win. Opponent was down to just their king, I was down to a king and two pawns, one of which was on its way to a promotion, but....I ran out of time, and the game was decided as a draw, due to insufficient material. How is that insufficient material when I had two pawns on the board, one of which was about to become a queen? Can anyone explain how this game was decided as a draw?
