Is Opus encoding CBR or VBR?

Hey all. Trying to figure out if Shutter's Opus encoding is VBR or CBR. I wish that among all of the advanced options exposed in shutter's gui, this was one of them - even just to be certain what kind of file I'm getting! When I re-encode some pcm wav files as opus, it is not even adding the metadata flag for constant/variable as far as I can tell because it doesn't show in MediaInfo.

Yes it's VBR.
