    The counter thing is a good idea. If you don't care about tracking users, a widget that loads a webpage you control might work. It would need to allow CORS and need to be careful about browser caching, but might just be as simple as checking the webserver logs to see if the url was accessed at all in the past X days.

The webserver logs is the way to go. It's trivial for LMers to access that data (through Looker). Unfortunately it's not exposed to customers. It would be a good feature for LM to build in: tracking which are the most used features of LM by which users. Are users going to the alerts page? Which dashboards are they using/not using? Are they looking at maps? How many have UIv4 turned on? etc.
