  We study the influence of mean field cubic nonlinearity on Aharonov-Bohm
caging in a diamond lattice with synthetic magnetic flux. For sufficiently weak
nonlinearities the Aharonov-Bohm caging persists as periodic nonlinear
breathing dynamics. Above a critical nonlinearity, symmetry breaking induces a
sharp transition in the dynamics and enables stronger wavepacket spreading.
This transition is distinct from other flatband networks, where continuous
spreading is induced by effective nonlinear hopping or resonances with
delocalized modes, and is in contrast to the quantum limit, where two-particle
hopping enables arbitrarily large spreading. This nonlinear symmetry breaking
transition is readily observable in femtosecond laser-written waveguide arrays.
