As per the f1611 datasheet (rtfm),

at 2.2V, the max is 1.5mA per pin and 12mA max over all ports
at 3.0V, the max is 6.0mA per pin and 48mA max over all ports

Thus, pal is using the devices outside of specified operating
conditions.  It is recommended that you use a transistor to switch
larger currents.

I can't recall what the datasheet says, but I recall being able to
drive 40mA. I was trying to drive some EL-wire, which requires 120mA;
unfortunately, the node wasn't able to drive that.
