Most of the research uses temps around 160-175 deg F, with health and performance benefits occurring in a sweet spot of 4x/week at around 20 min. I’m not sure if the temps you are doing are enough to stimulate the physiological changes associated with sauna training (increased blood volume, increased heat shock protein production, increased testosterone etc); it may, however, be fine for heat acclimation
