What is the capital of Tunisia?

Conditional/past conditional + subjunctive?

I suppose this would match :

Bien qu’il aurait dû + infinitive (manger for exemple)

The mood that needs to follow bien que is an open topic, see for example this article.

In any case, there might not be a requirement for a past tense in translating “I would have tried” so here is how I would translate your sentence:

Bien que d’habitude je fais de mon mieux, j’étais fatigué alors j’ai décidé de ne pas le faire (or j’ai décidé que non.)

Otherwise, the literary:

Bien que j’eusse d’ordinaire fait de mon mieux, j’étais fatigué alors j’ai décidé de ne pas le faire.

and the more realistic:

Alors que j’aurais fait de mon mieux en temps normal, j’étais fatigué et j’ai décidé de ne pas le faire.
