If you have a look at my last game, it was drawn by insufficient material or time. But I had time and material was not insufficient. But my opponent just stalled and eventually it was drawn.

 ...

You apparently got disconnected after your move, long enough that it would normally be considered a loss by abandonment but your opponent doesn't have sufficient material to mate so it ended with a draw by insufficient material.

I don't understand why the site decides to allow loss by abandonment when it isn't a player's turn, and I think there may be plans to change that, but as of now that's how it works.
