Satin finish paint, how shiny?

[IslaValargeone]

I have painted a door frame in what is supposed to be a satin finish, but it looks incredibly shiny, I'd swear it was gloss. How shiny should it be?

Satinwood paint is 40%-50% sheen, against gloss that's 80-90%. Even if you got a satin paint at the high end of the sheen, it defo shouldn't be gloss like. I'm assuming it's completely dry? Eggshell is more matt at around 20% sheen.
