Increased AUX Current Consumption

I'd like to know more about the single-antenna AUX functionality of the nRF9151. More specifically, this line in the documentation for AUX has piqued my interest:

When the nRF9151 LTE modem or GNSS is not active, ANT can be terminated to 50 Ω or connected to AUX in a static manner. This increases the current consumption by 0.7 mA from a battery voltage of 3.7 V.

Since low power operation and small overall footprint are both goals of my design, I had hoped to use a single antenna as depicted in Combined GNSS and LTE antenna example, but a constant 0.7mA will drastically shorten the battery life.

Does the consumption increase as a result of 50Ω termination, static AUX connection, or both? Are there any suggested mitigation techniques?
