Incorrect determination of the game result

Hello! in KoTH game lichess.org/OtriqCaX5sOD When I ran out of time, Lichess determined that I had lost. But why did I lose? In the final position, there is no legal sequence of moves leading to white or black winning. So the result of the game is a draw, and I ask you to recalculate the rating.
@gbtami , so "pawn block all board" one of most common situations where players have pieces for mate, but haven't possibilities for mate.
"In rare cases this can be difficult to decide automatically (forced lines, fortresses)."
This means there is no cheap algorithm exists to automatically adjudicate all possible positions.
This was discussed countless times before. I can't link similar forum post rn but you can find several in lichess.org/forum/search?text=user%3AToadofsky
