Suppose you contribute to your Roth IRA every year, and one year as the year is coming to an end you realize your income exceeds the income limit.
You already contributed the money.
What do you do then?
What will the IRS do?
Anyone have this happen to them?

Yep, I’ve done this...As long as you take out the excess contributions and any earnings from them before you file your taxes on 4/15, no harm no foul! If you’ve already filed your taxes, you’ll just have to file an amended return.

Are there separate limits for Roth and traditional? $18,000 for traditional, correct? What are the limits for Roth?

5,500 limit (6,500 if you're over 50), for both trad and Roth ira combined. And of course the trad is not based oon income
