We study super Bloch oscillations of ultracold atoms in a shaken lattice potential, subjected to a harmonically modulated mean-field interaction. Usually, any interaction leads to the decay of the wave packet and its super Bloch oscillation. Here, we use the phases of interaction and shaking with respect to the free Bloch oscillation as control parameters. We find two types of long-living cases: (i) suppression of the immediate broadening of the wave packet, and (ii) dynamical stability of all degrees of freedom. The latter relies on the rather robust symmetry argument of cyclic time [Gaul et al., Phys. Rev. A 84, 053627 (2011)].
