TMAG3001: Is TMAG3001 INT pin in push-pull when used in switch mode or still in open-drain like when used for interrupts?

Tool/software:

When using it as interrupt pin, a pull-up resistor is needed as it is in open-drain mode.

But what about when using it in switch mode? 

In the datasheet, both Figure 6-6. Unipolar Switch Through INT and Figure 6-7. Omnipolar Switch Through INT has the following text about the INT pin: INT (Switch Mode - Push Pull) (INTB_POL = 0)

So is the INT pin in Push-Pull mode when used as a switch? The datasheet isnt clear about this, yet mentioned "The INT pin operates as an open drain output." in the beginning of section 6.3.3 Interrupt Function. 

This matters a lot as if it's open-drain mode, when active (low), it will continue to sink current through the pull up resistor and drain my battery powered device.

Could someone please clarify?

Thanks
