LaTex compiler refuses to start a new pdf page

Question

I am writing a journal article using the following settings:

\documentclass[letterpaper, 12pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\usepackage{secdot}
\usepackage{mathptmx}

\begin{document}

    {\fontfamily{ptm}\selectfont

\title{This title}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}

I examine

\end{abstract}


{\small\bfseries Keywords} Hello

\pagenumbering{gobble}
\pagebreak

\pagenumbering{arabic}

\section{Introduction}
\section{Introduction}
\section{Introduction}
\section{Introduction}
\section{Introduction}
\section{Introduction}
\section{Conclusion}
\section{References}
\section{Conclusion}
\section{References}
\appendix
\section*{Appendix}

}
\end{document}

Everything was going well until my TexStudio stopped creating a new page automatically. Note that my Page number 2 is now above my Section Headings. If I enter more text, it disappears under page 2 and no page 3 is automatically created. Please help!

I tried to search on many forums if this error can be resolved. I also repasted my code on Overleaf.com compiler and I see the same problem - so there is no issue with my TexStudio compiler! There is a problem with my code as 'page breaking' is not happening automatically. My Page

Welcome! Whether or not a new page starts automatically depends on the document class and settings. By default, in an article class a section does not start a new page. Chances are that you compare this behavior to another class. If you need to change the behavior for a given class, titlesec is your friend. — , Apr 12 '20 at 01:12
Okay, got it! Thank you. It means as I fill up the sections - it would automatically create new pages. — Hrish Desai, Apr 12 '20 at 01:23
Same problem as this: multiple \subsection commands - one empty page and one overfull page — barbara beeton, Apr 12 '20 at 01:27
Yes, basically. There document classes and sectioning commands that automatically issue a page break, e.g. \documentclass{report} \begin{document} \chapter{ABC} \chapter{CDE} \end{document}. And you can change the behavior e.g. with titlesec. — , Apr 12 '20 at 01:30
Is your problem solved now and the question answered by what barbara linked to? If so, we can mark this question as a duplicate. — Johannes_B, Apr 12 '20 at 03:14
@Johannes_B yes, it is solved. Thanks you for all your help! — Hrish Desai, Apr 13 '20 at 02:06
