MAX7219 powered on via digital pin set to HIGH is not working good (I < 25mA)

I'm using 7-segment 8-digits MAX7219 eBuy module in my battery-supplied ATMega168P project to output some readings. MAX7219 in powerdown mode draws ~150uA (as stated in the datasheet) which is too much for me, because the rest of the circuit draws…
