For example, blitz chess usually allows 5 minutes (or even less! I've seen 1 minute games) for the whole game. An usual setting for tournaments is 2 hours and a half for the first 40 moves and another hour for the rest of the game (IIRC, there are a lot of settings). The player with no time does not automatically lose, his opponent must notice the fact to claim his win. Furthermore, if the opponent of the player with no time has only his king remaining, being called for time will result in a draw, rather than a loss.
