According to FIDE rules you could have claimed a draw:
III.5 If ArLcle III.4 does not apply and the player having the move has less than two minutesle` on his/her clock, he/she may claim a draw before his/her flag falls. He/she shallsummon the arbiter and may stop the chessclock (see ArLcle 6.12.2). He/she may claimon the basis that his/her opponent cannot win by normal means, and/or that his/heropponent has been making no effort to win by normal means:
III.5.1 If the arbiter agrees that the opponent cannot win by normal means, or that theopponent has been making no effort to win the game by normal means, he/sheshall declare the game drawn. Otherwise he/she shall postpone his/her decisionor reject the claim
