Draw for insufficient mating material

Hello,

I just lost a game on time that I thought should be drawn. I was about to promote a pawn. The only material my opponent had was a knight. I ran out of time. Shouldn't that be a draw?

Thank you
If you promote your pawn and corner yourself then your opponent could possibly checkmate you so it’s not a draw.
Is it just me, or have there been less threads of this type recently?
It feels as though I hadn't seen this question for like 3 days?
