    $\begingroup$ Hi, I can't say for sure, but I think your ACF plot (which I'm assuming is the first one) may suggest that there is some form of apparent non-stationarity due to the very slow decay which, would in a sense, invalidate the use of acf/pacfs calculated on the whole data set in it's current state since while you can calculate the acf/pacf for various lags, it won't necessarily mean something, e.g. like calculating the sample mean of draws from a distribution with no first moment. $\endgroup$
