Answer
Repeated and complex instantiation logic scattered across the codebase.
If you notice that object creation logic is duplicated and complex throughout your code, it's a sign that a factory could centralize this logic, thus reducing errors and duplication. For example, if every time a new payment processor is needed the same complex setup code is repeated, a factory would streamline this.
