The old provider is stuck on the way back from the device to my console

It's important for me to still use the old provider because of bugs with the new provider, using pulses. I'll try to create small examples and open separate issues.

When I run a simple circuit on the old provider:

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit, IBMQ

IBMQ.load_account()

provider = IBMQ.get_provider(<details>)
backend = provider.backend.<backend name>

circ = QuantumCircuit(1, 1)
circ.x(0)
circ.measure(0, 0)

res = backend.run(circ).result()
print(res.get_counts(0))

I can see on the IQX page that the job completed successfully. But my console gets stuck and never reaches the print line.

With the new provider it works fine.

Most backends/providers have been migrated to use runtime. It's not possible to retrieve runtime jobs from the old provider.

It gets stuck because it's trying to use the old IQX api to retrieve a runtime job that would only be retrievable with the runtime api.

Since the old provider is only deprecated, and not totally disabled, it should probably work for all backends and providers in this point of time.
