Can anyone tell me why Chess.com considers this position (white to move) a instance of insufficient material? Black has multiple ways of moving after my turn making it not stalemate. I’ve looked over instances of insufficient material and my position isn’t similar. A queen and a king is enough for checkmate, so when I have a queen, pawns, bishops, and a king why is it insufficient if checkmate is possible?

The reason this could have been a draw by insufficient material, is if white had run out of time on the clock. This is called “Timeout vs Insufficient Material” which is a draw and happens when one player runs out of time and the other player does not have enough material to checkmate the opponents king, resulting in a draw.
