Describe the fix.
qiskit-ibm-provider was deprecated earlier this year and has since been archived. Its API reference page should be removed since it's no longer supported.
We should set up a custom 404 error page that has links to the migration guide https://docs.quantum.ibm.com/migration-guides/qiskit-runtime-from-ibm-provider. Also link to the GitHub repo and maybe mention reading docs there.
@jyu00 will users still be able to retrieve old jobs using the Qiskit IBM Provider package? If not, is there another way they could do that? Just working out what to say in the docs on getting old jobs.

Kind of. qiskit-ibm-provider uses Qiskit Runtime, so users can continue to use it or qiskit-ibm-runtime to retrieve old jobs submitted by qiskit-ibm-provider.
However, jobs submitted by qiskit-ibmq-provider (notice the extra q), which was deprecated 2 years ago, can only be retrieved by qiskit-ibm-provider (for now anyway, I believe IQP plans to disable that path entirely).
