Question: What is the last time for a person to make an intention for a Nafl or Sunnah fast?

Answer: It is best to make the intention for fast during the previous night (at the time Suhoor). However, for Nafl and Sunnah fast, there is leeway to make an intention until the time of Dahwatul Kubra (exactly midway between the break of dawn and sunset ). This is, obviously, provided that the person did not consume anything that morning from the time of the break of dawn.

And Allah Knows Best
