deprecated $config_directories. The temporary file path is now defined
as a value in the $settings array:
$settings['file_temp_path'] = '/mnt/tmp/' . $_ENV['AH_SITE_GROUP'] . '.' . $_ENV['AH_SITE_ENVIRONMENT'];
For more information, see the Acquia knowledge base article on a Fix for the warning about the Drupal 8.8.x deprecated temporary directory configuration.
The temporary files directory in Drupal is the location on your web server where Drupal core and contributed modules upload files for processing.
Important
If you want to set a custom directory for storing temporary files, ensure
the file path you provide to the file_temp_path parameter already
exists. Otherwise, you may face issues with temporary files.
Acquia’s require line in your
website’s settings.php file configures the location of your temporary files
directory to /mnt/tmp/[sitename].[env], where [sitename] is your
application name and [env] is the environment. This location is available
to you as an
environment variable.
For more information about your application name, see the Sitename definition page. For a full list of Cloud Platform file locations, see File locations.

Important
Do not set the temporary directory to /tmp. The /tmp directory is
smaller than /mnt/tmp/[sitename].[env], and may quickly fill up.
Drupal modules that write to temporary directories may require additional configuration to function properly in environments with multiple web servers, such as production environments for Cloud Platform Enterprise and Cloud Platform Site Factory.
