according to some rules (USCF I think) the game is automatically a draw after 175 moves. Is there any condition on this website that the game will automatically draw?
"No piece capture or pawn movement has occurred for over 50 consecutive moves (100 half moves). Therefore the game has not progressed and a draw may be claimed by either player during their next move".

In any case. the longest game I know of was I. Nikolic - Arsovic,
Belgrade 1989; which went to 269 moves and was agreed drawn.
