Description
This issue has been migrated from [#13484](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13484).
---
The env var `SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR` and config `caches.global_factor`. I suggest we get rid of the former and explain how to migrate for admins.
The env var is currently documented alongside the config option in the config manual.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the config manual section that documents SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR and caches.global_factor, then inspect references to both names. Done means the redundant environment variable is removed and the manual clearly explains the migration for administrators.
