If you slow it down to 1MHz you can get it down to 0.5 ma. If you switch to low frequency oscillation at 32kHz it gets into low-double-digit microamps.

Yeah that's high, considering that a lot of 8-bitters are also in that ballpark and we haven't talked sleep states yet (with a few X00nA class sleepers out there).

In any case, Tomagachi is famously a 32kHz toy. There's a lot you can do at 32kHz.
