Game ended as a draw because my opponent repeated his movement for 3 times without me doing the same.
Was it a bug or what?

Can you post the game link here? The community can give you answers if they see exactly what happened.
Maybe you hit the 50 move rule.
3-fold repeat of position? That's the rule - not moves. And the positions do not have to be repeated consecutively.
position is the same after:
53...axb5
55...Kf4 and
57...Kf4
(edited, had the wrong move for second)
53...axb5
55...Kf4 and
57...Kf4
(edited, had the wrong move for second)
After blacks 53., 55. and 57. move three times the same position.
Black may did the same movement but I move my knight and then I move my King. Afaik both players have to do the same movement 3 times in a row in order to be threepeat.
@Cantfindavailablenam that's not the rule. The rule is, the same position has to appear on the board 3 times.

That is not the rule.
From FIDE Laws of Chess, 1 January 2018.
9.2.1 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by a player having the move, when the same
position for at least the third time (not necessarily by a repetition of moves):
9.2.1.1 is about to appear, if he first writes his move, which cannot be changed, on his
scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move, or
9.2.1.2 has just appeared, and the player claiming the draw has the move.
9.2.2 Positions are considered the same if and only if the same player has the move, pieces of
the same kind and colour occupy the same squares and the possible moves of all the
pieces of both players are the same. Thus positions are not the same if:
9.2.2.1 at the start of the sequence a pawn could have been captured en passant
9.2.2.2 a king had castling rights with a rook that has not been moved, but forfeited these after
moving. The castling rights are lost only after the king or rook is moved.
[Edit: Online, we make the move and have in the preferences that it should be called an automatic draw.
There are 3 options under 'Claim draw on threefold repetition automatically'; Never, Always, When time remaining < 30 seconds.]
