Why didn't I draw by repetition?

We repeated the same moves 4 times at the end. Perpetual check. But instead of giving me a draw, my time ran out. What happened? I hate these 30 minute games with no incremental time. They should always add a few seconds so stuff like this doesn't happen.

Just like in OTB play.  You have to claim the draw, its not automatic.

If you didnt press the draw button, the game continues.

Next time you know, it’s not automatic like stalemate or draw by insufficient material. What a pity!
