In a previous paper the author proved a distributional convergence for the Birkhoff sums of functions of null average defined over a dynamical system with an infinite, invariant, ergodic measure, akin to a central limit theorem. Here we extend this result to larger classes of observables, with milder smoothness conditions, and to larger classes of dynamical systems, which may no longer be mixing. A special emphasis is given to continuous time systems: semi-flows, flows, and $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$-extensions of flows. The latter generalization is applied to the geodesic flow on $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$-periodic manifolds of negative sectional curvature.
