It's that time of the year that I got a reminder to do oil change. Only this time, my mileage is far from what it is supposed to be due to the ongoing worldwide caveman solitary contest.
The meter reads 26000 miles, but I am due for the 30k service, or so says the reminder.

My question is, should I bring in my 2018 S5 for the 30k service? How does Audi regard the 30k service, time-wise (3rd year anniversary) or mileage-wise? I have the Audi service contract.

Many thanks.

Yes. It's every 10k miles or every 12 months.

If you have Audicare, you should have the 3-year/30k mile service after reaching one of the thresholds. For you, that will be time, not mileage. I have 9800 miles after 18 months of ownership, but have only driven around 1100 miles since the last service in February. At the current pace, I will probably have no more than 12k miles when I have my 2-year/20k mile service performed early next year.

IIRC one of the major service requirements at 30K is changing the fluid on the Haldex diff. Also spark plugs (had them changed on the A3 when we bought it after the lease for my daughter.)

B9 are a completely different platform. There's no Haldex.

2019 maintenance - 2018 should be similar -

I never meet the mileage requirements since I hardly drive my cars so I always go by the time elapsed since the last service.

Once a year, yes.
