This is an interesting idea. My only concern is the introduction of an additional database query, but I wonder if it can be combined somehow with the existing auth query. 🤔

@jeremystretch I have PR ready.
It adds the new field to the model, and updates the last_used when the TokenAuthentication.authenticate_credentials is called.

It does introduce a write for each API call., so it only update once a minute..

@sdktr Any request with an API key will update the last_used field, independent of the accesslevel of the API token or state of Netbox

But when reading the docs https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/configuration/dynamic-settings/#maintenance_mode and this comment https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/discussions/6219 , I think we should not update the last_used field when in maintenance mode.

Thank you for pointing that out, I'll update the PR
