contents We analyze the non-linear generalized Langevin equation which contains a thermodynamic force. We show that even for systems in thermal equilibrium the presence of the thermodynamic force implies that the auto-correlation function of the fluctuating force becomes non-stationary. We further illustrate that a standard coarse-graining procedure that neglects this fact predicts waiting-time distributions incompatible with the original, microscopic process. We conclude that one needs to proceed with care when adding thermodynamic driving forces to the Langevin equation.
